Duda:

The Costs of Supporting Ukraine Haven't Yet Reached Us in Human Terms. I Emphasize the Word 'Yet'.

- At this year's forum, we should focus on two issues. Firstly, how to help Ukraine win the war, and secondly, how to strengthen our own capabilities to ensure security and stable development for our countries - stated President Andrzej Duda during the Warsaw Security Forum. - Let's remember that the costs of supporting Ukraine haven't yet reached us in human terms; they are purely material costs. I emphasize the word 'yet' because the ambitions of Putin's Russia extend far beyond Ukraine itself, and should it be conquered, all the Eastern flank NATO countries would be endangered, and thus, I have no doubt, the security stability of the whole of Europe - he continued. - It is so important [...] for our societies to understand that today's costs of supporting Ukraine are nothing compared to what we would have to pay if we allowed Ukraine to fall - he went on to say.
