Poland’s Support for Ukraine: A Complex Relationship
Following congratulatory remarks from Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, newly elected Polish President Karol Nawrocki affirmed Poland’s unwavering support for Ukraine against Russian aggression, pledging to deepen bilateral ties based on mutual respect and dialogue. He acknowledged the need to address historical issues between the two nations to further strengthen their partnership. However, Nawrocki’s previous stance opposing Ukraine’s NATO accession has drawn sharp criticism from Polish Prime Minister Tusk. The future of Polish-Ukrainian relations thus remains complex, balancing support against historical tensions.
