Sikorski:

Anti-Ukrainian sentiment was long embedded in PiS's philosophy. Their only foreign policy approach is to incite against neighbors and allies

- The damage has already been done, and not only in Polish-Ukrainian or Polish-allied relations. The worst thing that happened is that Putin could have taken these words as encouragement, that Western determination is weakening, and therefore one must fight for a few more months and perhaps it will be possible to win. The fact that we need to arm ourselves is obvious, and the opposition supports the government in this matter, which seems to intend to spend 3% of GDP on defense, and that's very good - said Radosław Sikorski on TVN24's "Kropka nad i".

- We must remember that anti-Ukrainian sentiment was in PiS's philosophy for a very long time. Morawiecki went to Kyiv, it seems, only just before the war, or even after it started. And now they are competing with the anti-Ukrainian Confederation; please also remember that Mr. Kołodziejczak is a candidate in our Civic Coalition (KO). So PiS is afraid of the votes of Polish farmers, because Polish farmers see that [the government] has failed the grain issue. And now they will take it out on Ukraine. You know, they also don't know how to conduct foreign policy; their only way is to incite against neighbors, against partners, or to confront, to confront the EU, to confront Germany. And now they have come up with a brilliant idea to confront Ukraine, which is fighting for its life. It is so irresponsible, so stupid that words fail – he added.
