Poland does not plan to send its troops to Ukraine in any role, said top officials of the country, responding to comments by Keith Kellogg.Special envoy of U.S. president Donald Trump said that Warsaw's troops could be part of the "immunity force" that will be deployed in the country.
Polish defence minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz said on Tuesday that this is not the case, stating that his country will only be ‘logistic centre’and government "does not plan and send Polish soldiers to Ukraine"."This is the clear position of the government, the president and all political forces in Poland. Poland sees its very crucial function – and we are talking about it in a coalition led by Britain, France, most European countries, NATO countries – in stabilising the situation in Ukraine after long-awaited ceasefire or peace as a country supporting the logistics centre, infrastructure safety and protection of the east NATO flank" – he said.This message was further reinforced by Polish abroad Minister Radosław Sikorski on Wednesday, erstwhile the chief diplomat told Onet portal that "Kellogg may have overestimated the fact that Poland would be part of this operation if it did"."Stop manipulating, Chief of Government, Minister of Defence, and I repeat:
Poland will NOT send Polish soldiers to Ukraine” – wrote Sikorski on X shortly after talking to the editor.Trump's peculiar envoy said on Tuesday Fox Business that Washington talks with its European allies from NATO about sending military quotas to Ukraine as part of a possible post-conflict solution.Kellogg spoke of possible "immunity forces’ located west of the Dniepr River, which would place them "outside the contact zone".“These are forces referred to as E3, but in fact they are now E4 – if we include the British, the French and the Germans, and in fact Poles” – he claimed.The NATO Group of European associate States has been trying to gather for months ‘coal of the willing’ for what they call peacekeeping forces after the conflict.
However, so far, the supporters of Kiev have not agreed on its exact objectives, mission or shape.Russia explicitly rejected the presence of NATO troops in Ukraine in any form, arguing that it would pose a direct threat and could yet trigger a atomic conflict.
