““The keys to editor Poczobut’s freedom may lie in other realms,” Jacek Siewiera, head of the National Security Bureau, said on TVN24 in the context of the international prisoner exchange with Russia.
Jacek Siewiera commented on the international prisoner exchange with Russia. Regarding the lack of release of Andrzej Poczobut, he noted that “the keys to freedom can also lie in other kingdoms.”
The subject of the release of editor Poczobut was raised during negotiations both during the previous and the present government. Today, these negotiations are following a somewhat different path, and I confirm that such efforts are being made. Moreover, it seems that the keys to the freedom of Mr. Poczobut, editor, also lie in other realms.
– said the head of the National Security Bureau.
Take a look at President Andrzej Duda’s recent foreign visits

“There is no shame here”
Siewiera wondered whether Andrzej Poczobut, known for his uncompromising struggle against the Lukashenko regime and his unwillingness to ask the Belarusian president for freedom, would even want to be involved in this exchange.
Please ask yourself whether such a proud and prominent citizen of Belarus and Poland, who is wrongfully imprisoned, would really want to be part of a prisoner exchange, such an exchange?
– He asked.
It’s worth asking yourself such questions […] You should also ask yourself questions about such issues as: about the possibility of staying in Belarus or returning to Belarus for a citizen who has already clearly shown that he does not want to ask the autocrat for freedom by admitting his guilt
– added Jacek Siewiera.

He also responded to the words of Mariusz Kamiński, who said the exchange of prisoners between Russia and the West was a “disgrace”.
There is no doubt that there is no shame here. The fact that Paweł Rubcow was detained in 2022 is a great merit of the above-mentioned Minister Kamiński and the Internal Security Service. […]. If it were that easy [„oddanie” Rubcowa w zamian za Poczobuta – przyp. red.]Rubtsov would not have been in prison, awaiting trial for 2.5 years
– he pointed out.
The American side, and not Poland, was a party to these negotiations. It was not Poland that determined the terms for the Russian Federation
– said the head of the National Security Bureau.

Have Klich’s achievements been undone?
Jacek Siewiera also commented on the candidacy of Bogdan Kich for US ambassador, put forward by the government of Donald Tusk.
How was it prepared that even the Wikipedia profile would not be corrected?
– He asked.
For example, today I received the ambassador of Australia, the biographical note in the note comes directly from Wikipedia, in Washington it is also quite common
– added Jacek Siewiera.
As he noted, experts and the media often call the period of Bogdan Klich’s rule at the Ministry of National Defense “the worst in the Third Polish Republic.”
The period of Bogdan Klich’s leadership of the Ministry of National Defense was criticized by a part of the professional press and even described as the worst so far in the Third Polish Republic. The minister was accused in particular of a lack of development planning and the unintentional purchase of unnecessary equipment
– he justified.
We agree that this is not a reliable source [Wikipedia – przyp. red.]if only because anyone can edit them. This is my question, apart from the question of what kind of candidacy is Mr. Klich, how was it prepared, and even the issue of his profile on Wikipedia has not been corrected?
– asked Siewiera.
Siewiera also revealed the reasons why President Duda does not want to agree to Bogdan Klich becoming ambassador to the US.
Due to the entire performance of Minister Bogdan Klich
– he noted.
