Jan Piekło, former Polish ambassador to Ukraine, believes that the government of Donald Tusk will not easily resolve the conflict with Ukraine over carriers and the transit and import of grain. The guest of television channel wPolsce.pl also recalled that Donald Tusk, despite an invitation from Kiev, has not yet been there because he is too busy taking over the public media in Poland, and taking into account the previous PO governments must be taken into account Keep in mind that today’s countries will also follow Western Europe when it comes to Kiev, and the West is no longer talking about Ukraine’s victory, but increasingly about freezing the conflict and the peace talks.
The situation is complicated. Farmers joined the carriers. Michał Kołodziejczak, the current deputy minister of agriculture in Donald Tusk’s government, also encouraged them to do so. So we have a much more complicated situation than before. This is a fundamental issue because we must first ask ourselves: who benefits from this? Because two countries will undoubtedly lose from this: Poland and Ukraine. Russia benefits from this. This is very clear. There are also significant image losses on the Polish side.
– said the former Ambassador of the Republic of Poland. According to him, this issue is also greatly neglected by the European Commission.
When the government of Mateusz Morawiecki was still in power, it had little interest in solving this problem. We can assume that in the case of Donald Tusk’s government, this help from Brussels will be somewhat more decisive. And perhaps some issues can be resolved with the help of the European Commission. I wouldn’t count on it too much at this point, though. There is a certain disproportion here
– argued hell.
Disinterest
As Donald Tusk added, he was effectively absent from Ukraine. Since the outbreak of a large-scale war.
Of course he had no formal authority, but neither did Boris Johnson, and yet he was there at least a few times. To be honest, we don’t really know what’s behind it. If we think back to the previous Platform government, the focus was on a reset with Russia. For an agreement with Russia. This is no secret. Radosław Sikorski was also focused on resetting with Russia. He invited Sergei Lavrov to the annual meeting of Polish ambassadors in Warsaw. This currently raises many questions
– says the former Ambassador of the Republic of Poland. According to him, Donald Tusk’s absence in Kiev so far is “a pretty big question mark”.
He was probably already invited. It seems that such an invitation has already been sent from the Ukrainian side, but there has been no response. And there is no decision on this matter. For the time being, Donald Tusk is busy taking over the public media in Poland
– Piekło emphasized.
Follow the West
According to him, it is not Donald Tusk, as the media across the Oder would like, but Germany itself, which should ‘arrange’ weapons for Ukraine.
Germany should finally decide to supply Taurus long-range missiles to Ukraine. And we know that the man who doesn’t want to do this is Chancellor Scholz. Some of these American and Western European political elites are no longer thinking about Ukraine’s victory, but about reaching an agreement with Russia. And put Ukraine in a situation where it will be forced to cede part of its territory to Russia, which would obviously be a victory for Russia and an incentive for further aggressive actions. In relation to Finland or the Baltic countries, for example
– noted the former Ambassador of the Republic of Poland. According to him, the PiS government has created a huge arms transfer hub on the border with Ukraine in Rzeszów, and most importantly, Donald Tusk’s government now “doesn’t ruin it”. And in his opinion, Western politicians clearly want Ukraine to look for ways to reach an agreement with Russia.
It is likely that this government, the government of Donald Tusk, will participate in some dangerous attempts to freeze this conflict and force Ukraine to cede part of its territory to Russia.
– thinks hell. Poland is not among the thirty countries currently negotiating with Kiev on a security guarantee for Ukraine.
Precisely. Here the government of Donald Tusk had a huge opportunity to say: the PiS government did not do it, we will do it. We are resolute on this issue and want to support Ukraine. [….] And without these security guarantees, Ukraine cannot become a member of the European Union
