Poland has called for an end to the escalation of tensions with Ukraine
Włodzimierz Czazasty, Speaker of the Polish Sejm, emphasized the importance of maintaining good relations with Ukraine. He stressed that Ukraine’s independence and its future accession to the EU are in Poland’s strategic interest, given the threat of further Russian aggression in the region.
Włodzimierz Czazasty called on society to adopt a rational approach to relations with Ukraine amid rising radical sentiments.
The politician recalled a fundamental geopolitical truth that remains key to the security of the entire Eastern European region.
“There can be no free Poland without a free Ukraine. Some may not like this statement, but it is true,” Chazasty emphasized.
According to the politician, Poland’s national interests directly depend on the resilience of Ukraine’s defense:
- Threat of occupation: If Ukraine falls under Russian pressure, the Kremlin will not stop.
- Russia’s next targets: Moscow’s next targets of aggression will be either Moldova, the Baltic states, or Poland itself.
- Top priority: That is precisely why preserving Ukraine’s independence and its full-fledged accession to the EU is an existential interest of the Polish state.
Chazhasty commented on the decision to name one of the Ukrainian military units “Heroes of the UPA” and noted that he sees no logical explanation for this decision.
At the same time, he emphasized the importance of a long-term approach to relations between countries and urged against making hasty decisions, particularly regarding the possible revocation of Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s Order of the White Eagle.
