“I am publicly appealing to Presidents Karol Nawrocki and Volodymyr Zelenskyy for a direct and sincere conversation,” Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote on X. In the same post, he acknowledged the failure of Polish diplomacy in the dispute with Kyiv.
“Since diplomacy has produced no results, I am publicly appealing to Presidents Karol Nawrocki and Volodymyr Zelenskyy for a direct and sincere conversation. Before emotions destroy our solidarity, which was born in the face of the Russian threat,” the head of government wrote.
He assessed that “cooperation is in the interest of both our states and nations, while conflict serves Moscow’s interests.” “That seems obvious to all of us,” he concluded.
The issue has sparked numerous comments
Before noon, the Chapter of the Order of the White Eagle will consider President Karol Nawrocki’s proposal to strip President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of the Order. At the end of May, the President of Ukraine announced that he had named the Independent Special Operations Center “North” of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine after the “Heroes of the UPA.”
Expressing outrage at the Ukrainian president’s decision, President Nawrocki proposed that one of the agenda items for the June 8 meeting of the Chapter be the revocation of the Order. Nawrocki stated at the time, among other things, that “the glorification of the UPA is something that has provided a great deal of oxygen to Russian propaganda for disinformation.”
In connection with the tense situation, on Friday and Saturday the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov, was in Warsaw, where he held talks with, among others, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, Head of the President’s International Policy Bureau Marcin Przydacz, Head of the National Security Bureau Bartosz Grodecki, and Deputy Foreign Minister Marcin Bosacki.
