Tusk on Anti-Ukrainian Sentiments:

I Will Not Contribute to Fueling This Tension.

Mateusz Nowak

- I am aware of how easy it is today to ignite anti-Polish sentiments in Ukraine and anti-Ukrainian sentiments in Poland, and that one can achieve a real, albeit superficial, internal political success with this - said Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a government session.

- Regardless of what the polls and public opinion research say, I know from conversations with ordinary people that these anti-Ukrainian sentiments have found a very clear echo, and I know what the mood is and I often understand the justified irritation of people. There are events, there are attitudes that can justify this type of tension and sentiment - he continued.

- But keeping in mind Poland's strategic security and interests [...] I will not contribute in any way to fueling this tension, whether it is popular or not, I will be honest, I am not interested in that at the moment - he went on to say.
