Duda:

For Over 100 Years, the United States Has Played a Key Role in Ensuring Security in Europe

Michał Olech

Today, many countries are often accused of contributing to the prolongation of the war by supplying necessary armaments to the defending Ukraine. This is completely false logic. It's like accusing a neighbor of trying to help people who are defending their home against an attack by bandits. If someone attacks your home, you have the right to defend yourself, and your neighbors should not be indifferent. Ukraine would not be able to resist aggression and effectively defend its independence without the help of other countries. To the greatest extent, this includes the United States - stated President Andrzej Duda during the general debate of the 78th session of the UN General Assembly.

For over 100 years, the United States has played a key role in ensuring security in Europe. I say this as the president of a European country so often experienced by the tragedy of war. It must be remembered that it was the United States' participation in World War I that led to its end and the regaining of independence by Poland and other Central and Eastern European countries. The United States played a decisive role in defeating Nazi Germany. Without support from the USA, neither Great Britain nor the Soviet Union would have been able to resist Hitler. Finally, the United States played a crucial role in rebuilding Western Europe after the war and defending it against the threat from the Soviet Union throughout the entire period of the 'Cold War' - he continued.
