These words were said during a joint press conference with the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, which took place on December 19 in Warsaw.
Poles feel, as reflected in public opinion polls, that Poland’s multifaceted assistance after the outbreak of a full-scale war was not properly appreciated. This was also one of the topics of our conversation with the president. We feel this, and as the president of Poland, I feel it too,” said Nawrocki.
The Polish President added that he conveyed this position to Volodymyr Zelensky during what he called a “gentlemanly, friendly conversation.” He also emphasized that the Polish side is aware that Kyiv has the tools to stop and reverse this trend, and that this issue was the subject of direct discussions between the leaders.
