Says Przydacz on Poland's Absence from US Talks:

PM and Foreign Minister Did Not Declare Readiness,

"Important talks are taking place today at the White House, but these are primarily discussions between President Trump and President Zelenskyy," said Marcin Przydacz on the "Ground Zero" program on Kanał Zero.

"During those earlier telephone conversations, in which Karol Nawrocki also participated, President Trump primarily invited President Zelenskyy, indicating that, of course, if he wished, additional people could be present, somewhat in the nature of, I would say, psychological and substantive support for these talks," he continued.

"These discussions regarding who from Europe should go took place at a forum [...] called the 'coalition of the willing' [...] this is a coalition of willing states that would be willing and ready to send troops to Ukraine. The President never discussed Ukraine or our activity in such a format; the Prime Minister always participated there, and of course, these discussions involving the Prime Minister or Deputy Prime Minister Minister Sikorski took place on Saturday and Sunday," he continued.

"As I understand from my foreign partners' accounts, neither the Prime Minister nor the Minister declared Poland's readiness to participate in this forum," he noted.
