– The most important thing is that until now, it seemed that on fundamental matters concerning national interest, there was some elementary understanding between PiS and the opposition. This is because I recall that both the PiS government and President Duda supported Ukraine's European aspirations and also supported the postulate for Ukraine to become a NATO member as soon as possible. It seemed we had an agreement on this matter. However, Mr. Nawrocki contradicts this in his recent statements – stated Rafał Trzaskowski at a press conference in Warsaw.

– We are all, of course, of the opinion that the Volhynian issue must be clarified, but questioning Ukraine's membership in the EU or NATO contradicts our national interest. It is a completely different matter that Ukraine's membership in the EU will be very difficult, that it will require changes to the EU itself, changes to the budget, fundamental principles that currently apply to European agricultural policy, and adjustments within Ukraine itself. This will be a very difficult process, and it will, of course, begin when the war ends – he continued.

– However, questioning Ukraine's membership in NATO or the EU at such a difficult time is simply contrary to Polish national interest – added the Mayor of Warsaw.
