Polish Foreign Minister Radosaw Sikorski has said he is disappointed that President Andrzej Duda did not use his friendship with his American counterpart Donald Trump to urge him to put pressure on Russia, but instead said that Ukraine would have to step down in some sense.
Source Polish news channel Polsat News, as reported by European Pravda Details When asked about the current situation in Ukraine, Sikorski stated that despite the ambiguous approach of the US administration to the war unleashed by Russia, Ukraine continues to receive support from Washington.
Meanwhile, Sikorski admitted he was disappointed with Dudas position.
He had hoped that the Polish leader would be able to push the US president to take a firmer stance towards Russia.
Quote from Sikorski I had hoped that President Duda would use his friendship with President Trump to urge him to put pressure on Russia, but unfortunately, such a conversation does not seem to have taken place.
I have made such proposals both privately and publicly.
Details Sikorski added that he would like these good relations between Duda and Trump to bring some benefit to Polands geopolitical situation and Polish interests.
And when it comes to the essence of the matter, we are not seeing President Dudas influence on President Trump, Sikorski noted.
He said that the Polish president should be more engaged in securing a beneficial resolution to the war in Ukraine, rather than being involved in political disputes within Poland.
Quote from Sikorski Now is almost the last moment to put this friendship on the line for the sake of peace, for Ukraine, for deterring Putin.
That is what the president should be doing, not speaking at party conventions. Background In a recent interview with Euronews, Duda said that Ukraine will also have to step down in some sense, because thats what will probably happen.
In response, Sikorski advised Duda not to be a Chamberlain in this war.
