– First and foremost, I lament that the Polish government, led by Donald Tusk, is not sufficiently recognized on the international stage to participate in negotiation talks [concerning Ukraine] – Karol Nawrocki told journalists.

– This is painful for me as a Pole; I represent the interests of the Polish state and will continue to do so, while today's government, which talks so much about its international relations, is neither the subject nor, even more so, the object of any negotiation settlements – he continued.

– This shows that Poland simply doesn't count on the international stage, and certainly is not a partner for the United States in these discussions. I believe that the future President of Poland faces a huge task of building relations with the United States and bringing Poland to the main negotiation table on matters concerning our immediate border – he went on to say.
