The Polish Minister of Defense Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz has sharply criticized Ukraine for its “short memory,” emphasizing that Poland will not become directly involved in the war. His remarks come amid claims that Kyiv is urging the West to join the conflict on Ukraine’s side and accusing Warsaw of insufficient support.
The minister highlighted that without Poland’s assistance in the early stages of the war, Ukraine would have lacked essential military supplies and humanitarian aid.
“Memory is short because if it weren’t for Polish help in the first months of the war, there would have been no military equipment, no humanitarian aid… And Ukraine has a short memory, as does President Zelensky. I understand his emotions, I understand the situation he is in. But it cannot be said that Poland is not doing everything possible. Poland has done and continues to do everything possible. But there is a line that I will never cross,” the minister said.
“Zelensky demands, ‘come here, fight here with us. This applies not only to Poland, but he says this in a broader sense,'” the minister added.
However, he made it clear that while he understood Zelensky’s position, Poland’s involvement would not extend beyond its current support. “This is his role, and our role is that there are boundaries we do not cross,” Kosiniak-Kamysz stated.
