Exactly one year ago, on February 24, 2022, Russia launched an armed attack on Ukraine, destroying the order established after the Cold War. Russia has embarked on an imperial conquest, and the goal is one: to rebuild the former Soviet sphere of influence. Regardless of the costs and sacrifices. We must do everything we can to end this biggest geopolitical nightmare of the 21st century, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki wrote in a text published on the website of the American weekly Newsweek.
Security and prosperity, built with the efforts of several generations of Europeans, were about to collapse
– states the prime minister in the article.
Memories of the war year
In the text, Prime Minister Morawiecki addresses the current situation in the world.
Behind us is also a year of great heroism of the Ukrainian nation, which faces the Russian evil empire under the leadership of Volodymyr Zelensky. A year of faith, perseverance and determination. Today, Ukraine is fighting not only for its sovereignty, but also for the security of the entire continent
– points to the head of the Polish government.
Relations with a criminal regime cannot be normalized. It is high time for Europe to become independent from Russia – especially in the energy sector. Poland has long spoken of the need to diversify its oil and gas supply. New delivery directions open up new opportunities. Deputinization, ie breaking off relations with the dictatorial machine of violence created by Putin, is a precondition for Europe’s sovereignty
– writes the Prime Minister.
The Polish Prime Minister decided that “solidarity is stronger than fear” and that evil “must be defeated together”. His final conclusion is that the reconstruction of Ukraine after the war will strengthen the entire European continent.
Prime Minister’s War Conclusions
We are all witnesses of this war, none of us will be able to say that we knew nothing about the genocide in Bucza, so we cannot be indifferent. Russia’s imperial plans go beyond Ukraine
Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki writes five conclusions from the war year in Newsweek.
Exactly one year ago, on February 24, 2022, Russia launched an armed attack on Ukraine, destroying the order established after the Cold War. Security and prosperity, built with the efforts of several generations of Europeans, were about to collapse. Russia has embarked on an imperial conquest, and the goal is one: to rebuild the former Soviet sphere of influence. Regardless of the costs and sacrifices. We must do everything we can to end this greatest geopolitical nightmare of the 21st century
– writes Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and presents five conclusions from this year.
Sometimes I fear that there are many people in the West for whom a lunch in their favorite cafe or a series on Netflix is more important than the life and death of thousands of Ukrainians. We are all witnesses to this war. None of us will be able to say, “I knew nothing about the Bucza genocide.” We all watch the atrocities committed by the Russian military. Therefore, we should not be indifferent. Russia’s imperial plans go beyond Ukraine. This war concerns us all
Mateusz Morawiecki writes.
In the following points of the text in the Taiwanese daily, the Polish Prime Minister writes that it is Russia that is driving the global economic crisis, that deputinisation is a condition for Europe’s sovereignty and that the reconstruction of Ukraine will mean a strengthening of Europe. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki also spends a lot of time on European solidarity.
This war has already changed Europe. Russia, which attacked Ukraine, hoped that Western countries would not wake up from the geopolitical coma they had fallen into years ago, naively believing in the myth of “the end of history”. Russia made a mistake. She wanted to divide us, and we were united more than ever
– writes the Prime Minister.
War affects everyone
So we face two scenarios for the future of Europe. One is Ukraine’s victory and peace on the continent. The second is Russia’s victory and the expansion of Putin’s imperialism. If Ukraine is to win this war, we need to think today about a paradigm shift in European politics. The idea of a community of security and peace is the only possible development model today
– wrote the head of government.
In the article, the Polish Prime Minister describes the current situation in the world.
Twelve months of unprecedented brutality in Russia are behind us. Months measured by regular bombing of schools, hospitals, civilian buildings. Months in which casualties were counted instead of days. The Russians spare no one – men, women, the elderly or children. The genocides in Bucza, Irpień and other places are terrifying proof that Russia commits the worst crimes. Mass graves, torture chambers, rapes, kidnappings – this is a real picture of the Russian attack
– added.
Of the five lessons of the war year, Morawiecki mentions that the war in Ukraine concerns us all, Russia is the engine of the global economic crisis, deputinization is a precondition for Europe’s sovereignty, solidarity is stronger than fear, and the reconstruction of Ukraine will strengthen Europe.
Information war
The war in Ukraine affects us all, because Russia is attacking our entire civilization in cyberspace, information and economic
— writes Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki a year after the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The war in Ukraine is just one of the fronts on which the battle for the future of Europe is being waged. Russia is leading an assault on our entire civilization in cyberspace, information, and economics. Carl von Clausewitz once said that war is but the continuation of politics by other means. Apparently, Vladimir Putin understood this famous phrase well. Moscow chooses its attack techniques depending on the opponent it faces. Putin could not conquer Europe militarily without defeating it economically
says the prime minister.
As he points out, the energy crisis and global inflation we all face have their origins in Russia’s imperial aggression.
The beginning of the invasion of Ukraine was the aggressive gas policy of the Kremlin in July and August 2021. Putin’s gas blackmail then led to sharp increases in gas prices in the European market
Morawiecki writes in the article.
It’s time to understand this: Russia is the driving force behind the global economic crisis
– emphasizes the head of the Polish government.
Prime Minister Morawiecki also points out that Russian aggression is a matter for the whole of Europe, deputinisation is a condition for Europe’s sovereignty, solidarity is stronger than fear, and the reconstruction of Ukraine will strengthen Europe.
What bricks will we use to build our common home – Europe? What provides security is unity based on a community of values and interests, consolidated by strong economic and social ties. It will not be possible to overcome the economic crisis if the fires of war rage at the gates of Europe
– summarizes the head of the Polish government.
We already know that the American Abrams tanks will join the German tanks. The Euro-Atlantic raison d’être prevailed over cold calculations. NATO has proven to be not only the most powerful military alliance in the world, but also a truly united alliance. Together we will defeat evil. Solidarity is stronger than fear
Morawiecki points out.
The Polish Prime Minister’s article on five lessons from the Russian invasion of Ukraine is sent to media around the world, including the Korean “Taipei Times”, the Greek “Ekathimerini”, “Cyprus Times” and the Bosnia and Herzegovina portals “Dnevni and “Nezavisne Novine”.
