Tusk criticized Navrotsky for his remark about Poland's loss of territory
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk criticized President Karol Nawrocki for his remark about a possible loss of territory in a post dedicated to the events at the start of World War II. Tusk stated that Poland has no intention of ceding any part of its territory and suggested that Navrotsky delete the post in question.
Navrotsky, for his part, rejected the criticism and stated that he does not consider his post inappropriate. The dispute between the president and the prime minister erupted on September 17, the 87th anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939.
On September 17, Navrotsky published a post on his X account marking the anniversary of Poland’s defeat at the start of World War II, when its western part was occupied by Wehrmacht troops and its eastern part by the Soviet Union.
“We are a nation that may lose territory but will never lose our spirit; we may cede territory—but we will never surrender our homeland,” Navrotsky wrote.
“Mr. President, I suggest you delete this post. We have no intention of giving up a single scrap of our territory,” Prime Minister Donald Tusk responded.
In response, Navrotsky emphasized that he was referring to historical events.
“It’s worth noting: 87 years ago, we lost territory, but we did not lose our homeland. By the way, instead of sitting online and commenting, I advise you to pay attention to my bill on lowering fuel prices as soon as possible—Poles are waiting for this,” the president responded.
Tusk warned of possible Russian strikes against NATO countries — The Hindu.
In recent months, Russia has been increasingly using sabotage, cyberattacks, arson, and other hybrid methods against European countries. According to Bloomberg, defense companies and logistics infrastructure supporting Ukraine are increasingly becoming the main targets. European officials fear that, due to mounting risks, such attacks could ultimately result in civilian casualties.
On September 17, a Russian strike drone crashed near the Polish border in Volhynia. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk noted that the crash caused a very powerful explosion.
