He talked about “preparing a scene for a Moscow actor”
In fresh years Polish-Ukrainian relations have importantly deteriorated. The embargo on Ukrainian grain that the Polish government imposed on the Ukrainians has contributed to this. The escalation of tensions is simply a fact, since during his speech at the UN, the president of Ukraine utilized an allusion that was disturbing for Poland, speaking about "preparing a scene for a Moscow actor", according to commentators, he definitely meant the authorities in Warsaw.
Strong words came out in Canada
While in Canada, Zelenski's rhetoric was besides categorical. He stated that it was possible to aid Ukraine or Russia. He continued the tirade, claiming that there are no mediators in this war, and reducing aid to Ukraine means strengthening Russia.
– If anyone wants to hazard it, all right, let's weaken the aid to the Ukrainians. But frankly, freedom, democracy and human rights must be fought," said Zelenski after gathering Justin Trudeau in Ottawa (quote for Interia.pl).
There is no uncertainty that this message was addressed to the Polish authorities, which have late been decisive. Both president Andrzej Duda and Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki were dissatisfied with the words of Zelenski, and especially the statements of the head of state drew the attention of commentators due to the excellent relations of Andrzej Duda with Volodymyr Zelenski.
– I was bitter. I was sorry. This is simply a dispute that concerns a tiny clipping of our relations," said PAD in an interview with TVN correspondent in the USA Marcin Wrona.
– The president of Ukraine did not mention Poland, but of course the proposition was and we all understood it. I'm sorry to hear it at this point due to the fact that I thought it was unfair, what he said. However, the more time it takes, the more emotions I get, due to the fact that I have them just as much as any person," said president Duda on TVN 24.
