Minister of abroad Affairs Radosław Sikorski presented present in the Sejm information about the tasks of Polish abroad policy in the context of current safety challenges and declared further assistance to Ukraine. We know precisely who did the assault and who was the victim. We offer comprehensive support to the victims – said the minister.
At the beginning of his exposé, Minister Radosław Sikorski pointed out that for the second time in the current government term, and the ninth in his life he presented information about the tasks of Polish abroad policy and for the first time this speech is so difficult. He pointed out that the global situation has been the hardest in decades. “Now the planet is becoming little predictable: border war, changes in the global power strategy and global economical and political crises make stability, which we are utilized to in Europe, resists fresh challenges,” he said.
NATO – a key alliance for the safety of Poland and Europe
The head of the MFA devoted much of his speech to the North Atlantic Alliance, indicating him as ensuring stableness and safety in the region. He stressed that since the exacerbated situation in the East, NATO states have been gradually expanding their defence efforts. – Let us make the same simulation, assuming that each associate State spends as much as Poland presently does – 4.7% of GDP, as if the threat were to increase. We'd get $2.5 trillion, which is 17 times more than Russia. These figures show the scale of our possible and that as long as NATO is an effective alliance, Russia will not win with us," Sikorski said.
“Poland’s abroad policy does not search to incite disputes where they service nothing. We're following a cool reality assessment. We propose ambitious but realistic solutions, and we work with countries that follow akin values to them, he added. He besides pointed out that Poland can and should play an crucial function in building global safety structures. – For Poland the biggest threat would be the breakdown of the Western community. That is why we cannot afford to be delusional or idle. We can't afford to be alone. We search the credibility of alliances, we want and we can be their architects," stressed the minister.
We will not send troops to Ukraine
In his speech Radosław Sikorski besides discussed the war in Ukraine. He one more time declared that Poland would not send its troops to its territory, but will proceed to support it. – To this day, we have delivered 45 aid packages worth about EUR 4 billion to Ukrainian allies. We are now starting deliveries within the 46th package. Poland besides assumes the burden and risks of provision of training facilities and logistics for military assistance transferred across our east border – the head of the MFA reported. He pointed out that the settlement of the war in Ukraine is crucial for safety in the region. Peace by force. Only specified Russia will respect," he added.
The Minister of abroad Affairs besides referred to the issue of the Russian threat to Poland. – The chief ideologist, Aleksander Dugin, said years ago: “There is no place on the Euro-Asian continent for Poland. Russia in its geopolitical and sacral-geographical improvement is not curious in the existence of an independent Polish state in any form. She is besides not curious in the existence of Ukraine," he recalled. “The Kremlin usually starts with words and then kibitki, checkers and tanks appear on the streets,” Sikorski said. As he stated, “in russian times the Russians set up an embassy in Warsaw to look like the governor's seat, but times changed.” I have a message for Mr. Dugin's leaders. You will never regulation here again. Not in Kiev, not in Vilnius, not in Riga, not in Tallinn, not in Chisinau. Do you have adequate land? Eleven time zones and you're inactive short? Deal with better governance of what is within your borders under global law – the minister thundered, to which MEPs responded with applause.
