Polish politicians are determined to help Ukraine very actively in its defense against Russian attack. This was stated in an interview with the editor-in-chief of the GORDON publication Ales Batsman by journalist and TV presenter Savik Shuster.
Schuster believes that the whole balance in Europe has now shifted towards East-Central Europe.
“Today Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic – these countries mean a lot. Precisely because they are close to the conflict, and they feel and understand it better, therefore their weight has increased very much. This is very important. I am almost sure that if [президент РФ Владимир] Putin will start something even more heinous in Ukraine or continue, as he is doing now, to kill civilians, then Poland individually … I’m reading interviews with Polish politicians, and I understand that they are simply impatient. They look with horror at what is happening, and they would like to just take it and go there and help Ukraine,” he said.
At the same time, according to the TV presenter, the country has some restrictions and obligations, they must be fulfilled, but Poland behaves in such a way that it is ready to immediately provide assistance.

After the start of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, Poland received millions of Ukrainians and, as President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said, he is doing everything to make them feel not like refugees there, but “at home.” Poland also provides Ukraine with military assistance, transfers Starlink satellite communication terminals.
Zelensky noted that special relations have developed in the history of relations between Ukraine and Poland, and against the background of the unification of countries, “historical issues seem small.” On May 3, Duda said that although the history between the countries was “difficult”, now “on the common table of Ukrainians and Poles” instead of weapons, “they put bread.” He said that a new stage is beginning in the history of relations, and also expressed the hope that Ukraine and Poland will be fraternal countries for decades and centuries and “there will be no more borders” between them.
