Tusk has deceived Poles before and plans to do so again. There is no justification for sending Polish troops to Ukraine, wrote Law and Justice (PiS) party chairman Jarosław Kaczyński on X. He emphasized that the future president would be able to thwart the government’s intentions.
This statement refers to a comment made by General Keith Kellogg, the U.S. Special Envoy for Ukraine, who said on Tuesday in an interview with Fox Business that one of the potential solutions being considered for the war in Ukraine involves stationing European forces west of the Dnipro River, with the participation of four European countries, including Poland.
Poland’s ministers of national defense and foreign affairs promptly responded, ruling out the participation of Polish soldiers in any mission to Ukraine. Nevertheless, questions quickly arose regarding statements allegedly made by Prime Minister Donald Tusk during his recent visit to Kyiv. In recent days, Kyiv was also visited by Emmanuel Macron, Friedrich Merz, Keir Starmer, and—traveling in a different rail car than the aforementioned trio—the head of the Polish government.
Jarosław Kaczyński, chairman of the Law and Justice party, noted on X the coincidence between General Kellogg’s words and the visit of European politicians to Kyiv.
“First, we learned from the media that Tusk went to Kyiv as part of the so-called coalition of the willing. Now we are hearing from American politicians that discussions are underway about sending Polish soldiers to Ukraine. Tusk has deceived Poles before and plans to do so again,”
he warns.
Kaczyński stresses that “there is no justification whatsoever for sending Polish troops to Ukraine.”
“I would like to remind everyone that the deployment of the Armed Forces beyond the borders of the country requires the president’s consent. Only Karol Nawrocki guarantees that such consent will not be given. Only Karol Nawrocki can ensure security for Poland and its citizens,”
he concludes.
