For our security, for the security of Europe, for the security of the world, Ukraine must win, said President Andrzej Duda, who was a guest on RMF FM on the first anniversary of Russian aggression against Ukraine.
The Polish president was asked if we would celebrate the second anniversary in peace.
This is a million times the last question asked. Unfortunately, the answer is: nobody knows
– he said.
I think neither does Volodymyr Zelensky, although he participates directly in all military decisions made on the Ukrainian side, but we do not know what will happen, we do not know what Vladimir Putin will do, we do not know what the Russians will doing. will do, we will not, we can 100 percent predict the further scenario of this war
Andrzej Duda added.
He also pointed out that there are many scenarios for the further development of the situation predicted by experts.
But one thing is certain for me: for our security, for the security of Europe, for the security of the world, Ukraine must win
emphasized the president.
“Putin is wrong
When asked how the Ukrainian army is holding its own now because he likely has first-hand information, President Duda returned to his meeting with the Ukrainian president on the eve of Russian aggression.
Volodymyr Zelensky told me that if Putin thinks that Ukraine will surrender and peacefully occupy Ukraine, then he is wrong. Ukraine will defend itself to the last moment, the people are absolutely determined and have 8 years of war experience since 2014 – and it is happening. You can see this war experience was there from the very beginning and the Ukrainians showed it by fighting against the Russians in an incredible way and amaze the whole world.
he said.
Ukraine was supposed to fall in 72 hours, but a year has passed and Ukraine is resolutely defending itself
emphasized the president.
The Russians never captured Kiev, the Russians never captured a major Ukrainian city in this war. They took Mariupol, of course, after long, long, bloody battles, but this is a show of truly incredible heroism from an army much smaller than the Russian one. There is a huge mismatch in potential between Russia and Ukraine – both in terms of military assets and in terms of human resources, and yet Ukraine is still defending itself. This is the absolute determination of the defenders of Ukraine, people who want to live in a normal, fair, democratic, free, independent, sovereign country, decide for themselves about their future, about where they belong, who is their ally and just defend themselves
– added.
As the Polish president noted, today Ukraine is defending itself with huge infrastructural, military and political support from the community of the West, the NATO countries, the United States and great support from Poland.
This support allows them to survive and defend themselves and they need more of this support. I believe if they get them they will just beat the Russians
he stressed.
