President Andrzej Duda stressed the importance of focusing on helping flood victims in southwestern Poland. Speaking to Polsat News, Duda emphasized the urgency of the situation, where many have lost their homes and livelihoods just as winter approaches. He acknowledged the severity of the situation and called for swift and effective relief efforts, putting aside other political debates for the time being.
Polish-Ukrainian Relations and Ukraine’s Recovery
Returning from New York, where he signed a declaration on Ukraine’s reconstruction, Duda reaffirmed his stance on Ukraine’s territorial sovereignty. He stated that any peace plan must restore Ukraine’s control over all territories occupied since 2014, including Crimea. He warned that accepting any Russian control would fuel further aggression and imperialism.
