Morawiecki:

Zelensky Backed the Wrong Horse, Choosing Germany and Civic Platform Over PiS and the USA

"Zelensky backed the wrong horse. He chose Germany and Civic Platform over PiS and the USA" – wrote Mateusz Morawiecki on social media, publishing a fragment of his interview with Radio Wnet.

The former Prime Minister, referring to the President of Ukraine, said in the conversation, among other things: "In 2019, he went against the then administration of President Trump, playing into the hands of Hunter Biden and Joe Biden. Later, he also completely tied his fate to the Democrats, including recently supporting Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania [...]. All of this meant that President Zelensky backed the wrong player and now must bear the consequences. This shows that such foreign policy mistakes come back to haunt you."

"In the spring of 2023, Zelensky and his team must have concluded that it was more beneficial to bet on Civic Platform, Germany, and France."
– Roughly in the spring of 2023, President Zelensky and his team must have concluded – and I'm reconstructing this based on their actions – that it was more beneficial to bet on Civic Platform, on Germany, on France. And in the United States, there's Biden, the old, good Biden, who will likely win the presidential election, so everything will be fine. Well, some of the plans President Zelensky had have been disrupted – Morawiecki continued in his conversation with Krzysztof Skowroński.

– President Trump won. Although we lost the election, this is also a blow to Zelensky, because from Tusk, von der Leyen, and Scholz, he may receive various words of support. [...] Where is the weaponry from Germany, and from France as well, which was promised and never arrived? [...] Where are, for example, the funds that were promised by Europe for Ukraine's defense, for weapons purchased in other parts of the world? They also have not been delivered – he continued.
