There will be no stability in Europe, there will be no security and normal economic development will not return until the situation in Ukraine has calmed down, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on TVP Info on Tuesday.
The West is tired of war
Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki pointed out that public opinion in the West is growing tired of the war in Ukraine and that questions are growing as to why Ukraine should be supported.
After all, it is so far from our border, the inhabitants of some Western European country may say. Meanwhile, there will be no stability in Europe, no security and normal economic development will not return until the situation in Ukraine has calmed down. As long as Ukraine doesn’t win this war
said the head of government.
He also referred to the issue of the January Uprising. This year marks the 160th anniversary of the outbreak of the disease.
Then the Polish, Lithuanian, Belarusian and Ukrainian insurgents fought shoulder to shoulder against Russian power, against Russian barbarism.
emphasized the prime minister.
He added that those who fight in defense of goodness, truth and freedom are already victorious the moment they begin to fight.
Although they then fought (insurgents – PAP) for a hopeless, difficult cause, we also owe independence to them
said the prime minister.
He also noted that in the face of major geopolitical threats, one must be united around the basic goal of Poland’s sovereignty, independence, but also concern for the well-being of Poles and security. “
All this also shapes us for the future and makes us proud of our homeland
Mateusz Morawiecki noted.
“That’s why we’re building a strong army.”
Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on TVP Info on Tuesday that the NATO summit in Vilnius should agree on a schedule for strengthening the preparedness forces.
I expect that the correct demands and agreements of the last summit in Madrid will be complemented by a very strictly adhered to timetable, for example when the announcements on rapid reaction forces will be carried out
– said the prime minister when asked what he expected from the meeting of the heads of state and government of the NATO countries scheduled for July.
According to Morawiecki, “those announcements need to be implemented, and they are being implemented a bit slowly.”
That is why we are building a strong army, one of the strongest land armies in Europe, while strengthening our defense industry at the same time
he declared. He added that the “restored public finances” allow the Ministry of National Defense to transfer money for arms purchases “around the world”, and to increase the country’s munitions production.
In June last year, on the eve of the Madrid Summit, the Secretary General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, Jens Stoltenberg, announced a gradual expansion of the NATO Response Force (NRF) from 40,000 to 40,000. up to 300 thousand. The NRF consists of the Very High Readiness Forces (VJTF), the so-called spearhead of NATO. In addition to allies, NATO partner countries also supply troops to the Federal Republic of Germany.
Border protection
Prime Minister Morawiecki, who visited Vilnius on Tuesday, stressed that Poland and Lithuania took the same position on the crisis on the border with Belarus.
We acted together, Poland and Lithuania began to strengthen the borders at the same time, because it was the first accord of the war, which we then called hybrid, today we know it was a prelude to an attack on Ukraine, to the most conventional war
– he said.
