Samuela Torkowska, a Confederation candidate for the Sejm, recently spoke with the Goniec.pl portal. During the interview, the topic of Russia’s aggression toward Ukraine came up. Torkowska, who previously appeared on the Top Model program under the name Samuela Górska and who drew attention for remarks about Jewishness and LGBT in Poland, was asked who she would prefer to see win the war. She declined to give a definitive answer.

“Everyone has their own opinion.”
The Sejm candidate avoided naming a preferred winner in the Ukraine conflict, saying that an election campaign is underway and that such a stance would be politically risky. The journalist pressed for a clear position on who she would wish victory for.
“I won’t say,”
she replied.
“Why not? It seems straightforward.”
“I won’t say because there is an ongoing campaign and it is quite politically sensitive. Even within the party there are varied views, so I would like to ask for respect for my decision to refrain for the moment.”
“But there is a debate within the Confederation about who should win this war?”
Naturally, everyone has their private opinions. An example she cited was Janusz Korwin-Mikke, a controversial figure who has sparked strong reactions in debates on patriarchy. Some criticized him, while others defended his stance as aligned with broader currents in the movement. The Confederation is composed of three components that differ in perspective, and the question of a single guiding thread remains complex. Torkowska noted she is not the sort of leader who imposes a single line on a broad coalition.
“War is always the worst possible outcome. It costs lives and brings suffering,”
she added.
When pressed about remarks by Konfederation colleagues that Russia should engage more forcefully in Ukraine, Torkowska stated:
“Do you think Ukraine can withstand Russia’s power? It would be naive to think Russia has used its full strength so far.”
Asked whether she believes Ukraine might lose the war, Torkowska answered affirmatively. She emphasized that the best outcome would minimize casualties and cautioned that every weapon sent to Ukraine would escalate the conflict and affect civilian lives.
Observers noted that Torkowska’s comments raised questions about the Confederation’s stance toward Ukraine and the broader war discussion. Critics worry these positions reflect a segment of the coalition that does not uniformly support Ukraine. Supporters, meanwhile, warn against painting the entire party with one brush and argue that private opinions belong to individuals rather than the group as a whole. In the end, the interview underscored the tension between campaign rhetoric and personal views within the political landscape.
All sides emphasize the human toll of war and the need for careful, responsible discourse in a heated election environment. The discussion highlights how political identities and coalition dynamics shape responses to international crises while leaving questions about ultimate policy direction unresolved for now. The conversation continues to unfold as campaigns progress and voters seek clarity on how leadership would handle the ongoing conflict.
