A strong post from the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs about Ukraine
In recent days Polish officials have spoken out against comparisons that paint Poland and Russia in the same light as harming Ukraine. Such comparisons are felt as deeply insulting by Polish society, shaping a reevaluation of Polish consciousness toward Ukraine and Ukrainians on both collective and individual levels. In homes where Ukrainians once found shelter and in kitchens where their stories were shared, many now wonder how Poles and Russians could be mentioned in the same breath as those who harmed Ukrainians.
– stated the minister.
Poland, like Ukraine, has endured invasions and imperial pressures over the centuries, including brutal events in 1939 and again in 2022. Those memories include violence, displacements, and a lasting imprint on national identity. The government’s support for Ukraine has relied on the widespread empathy and solidarity of Polish families, who opened their doors and hearts to refugees and their stories.
– he recalled.
Therefore, Ukraine’s current policy is seen as not only painful for Poland but also insulting. It is difficult to forget, and many believe it harms Ukraine as well. The two nations share losses and consequences in a history of conflict that remains unresolved.
– emphasized the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
As Zbigniew Rau wrote, “we believe in the victory of Ukraine.”
There is a clear stance against letting relations with Poland be traded for private interests or foreign agendas that oppose the well‑being of both nations. A substantial effort will be required to rebuild and sustain Polish confidence in the goodwill of Ukrainian authorities.
– concluded the head of Polish diplomacy on X.
Zelensky’s remarks at the United Nations
During the general debate at the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, highlighted efforts to maintain grain export routes. He also noted how some European voices show solidarity in political theater by turning grain into a dramatic narrative, which, in his view, can mislead and distract from the real geopolitical stakes at play.

These statements drew criticism from Polish authorities, prompting an urgent summons of the Ukrainian ambassador to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The exchanges underscored the need for sober, constructive dialogue between Warsaw and Kyiv amid ongoing regional tensions. (Source: wPolityce)
The conversation extended to public remarks by Polish leaders who urged caution against rhetoric that could fuel misperceptions. They stressed the importance of maintaining stable, transparent cooperation with Ukraine while protecting Poland’s own security and interests. The goal remains clear: to support Ukraine in its struggle while safeguarding bilateral relations and regional stability.
Observers note that diplomacy in this context requires sensitivity to shared history and the present day realities faced by both nations. The aim is to oppose any narrative that exploits grievances for political leverage and to reinforce a framework where mutual respect and practical collaboration guide future actions.
