Pole sees one possible ceasefire in Ukraine with concern in contrast to. Kremlin boss Wladimir “Putin Could start immediately after a possible signing of the ceasefire To attack Poland. It is about propaganda actions, interference in elections, sabotage, “said the chairman of the foreign policy committee in the Polish parliament, Paweł Kowal in the APA interview. Already now you can see “practical on the border with Belarus and Russia a provocation every day “.
“We are in the crosshairs of Putin’s Russia,” said former State Secretary in the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Putin is “obsessed” by Poland because he blames the country to the failed submission of Ukraine. From Putin’s point of view, it was Poland that the West mobilized the West after the Russian invasion. The Russians then did not succeed in taking the Ukrainian capital Kyiv. In addition to Poland, other Central European countries are also in the sights of Putin, added the right -wing politician.
USA want to prevent Russia’s decay
Kowal warned against measuring the statements from Washington in the Ukraine conflict. “It is important to understand that you have to differentiate between statements or tweets and actual politics.” In this regard, he referred to the declared interest of the United States in economic cooperation with Ukraine. This is only possible if there is also “military protection”. At the moment, American investors would even see the east of Poland as a risky region.
The United States also wanted to prevent Russia from a decay. In the past, they would have been in critical situations to the country, for example after the 1917 revolution or after the collapse of the Soviet Union. In Washington, there is a fear of possible destabilization if Russia should fall apart.
Change of course in Germany more important than EU upgrade package
The former EU MP had an urgent impact on strengthening European defense. Poland invest a lot in his defense to motivate other European countries with its example. Poland already has the largest army of the European Union and the third largest of NATO (after the USA and Turkey). “We are able to effectively defend our limits,” emphasized Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s party friend.
Many American politicians are right if they said that Europeans had not spent enough for their defense in the past decades, said ex-State Secretary. He was also not sure whether the upgrade package, which was recently announced by the EU Commission, was sufficient, he added to a question. It is more important that Germany has decided on a change in a political change in the past few weeks and now wants to spend more for upgrade.
Russia already “in a regular war” with the EU
Russia already sees Kowal “in a regular war” with the European Union, also with neutral Austria. “But Russia is not neutral. The Russians are active in Europe and are very determined against our countries, our lifestyle, our families and organizations. It is naive to believe that Russia would respect their values,” he said.
In the struggle around the Danish territory of Greenland, Kowal clearly positioned himself alongside the EU partner. “Greenland is a territory of Denmark, and Denmark is part of the European Union,” he emphasized. With a view to the security considerations made by the USA, the top Polish politician referred to NATO. The security of the Atlantic should be discussed in the context.
Kowal was optimistic about the Polish presidential elections on May 18. “I am sure that (government candidate) will win Rafal Trzaskowski,” he said. All opinion polls would show this, and the government parties are still at the forefront in the surveys. The parliamentarian does not see a decay of the coalition in the event of a victory by the opposition candidate Karol Nawrocki. It should be expected that the politician of the right -wing conservative PIS (law and justice) would continue the vertical policy of the outgoing President Andrzej Duda, “but that is also the reason why people will not vote for this candidate”.
