“Don't you have enough land?” Little, attacked virulently in a speech in Warsaw: “Eleven times and are not enough?”
Poland Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski was used on Wednesday about the annual speech in front of the Warsaw Parliament to attack Russian President Vladimir Putin, asking him a direct question: “Don't you have enough land?”, Writes Sky News.
The vehement reaction of the head of Polish diplomacy came after the British press wrote that the Kremlin leader offered to end the invasion of Ukraine, by freezing the conflict on the current front lines, as part of the efforts to reach a peace agreement that the administration of US president Donald Trump is to mediate.
Poland is one of Kiev's most powerful supporters since the beginning of the war, and Radoslaw Sikorski took advantage of his speech in the Parliament to target Russia, saying: “Eleven times and are not enough?”
“Be careful to better govern what is inside your borders, according to international law,” added the Polish Foreign Minister.
With a war that continues to ravage near the border of Poland, Sikorski presented a series of key questions that many in the country and ask.
“The anxiety and the question that will happen were installed in the Polish houses,” he said.
“Are we also in the face of a hazard representative of Russian aggression? Are the relations between Europe and the United States go to a crisis? Can Europe quickly improve their defense capabilities?” Sikorski added.
Poland and European allies are trying to strengthen their defense, fearing that Russian aggression will not stop in Ukraine, while the Trump administration reports that Europe must take on more security responsibilities.
Vailed critics to Trump's
Although he did not mention the name of US President Donald Trump, the speech of the Polish diplomacy chief seemed to include an implicit criticism of the concessions that Trump is willing to make Russia to end the war, notes AP and Agerpres.
Since taking over the position, Donald Trump has falsely said that Ukraine “should never have started the war”, and Ukraine “could be Russian one day” and has questioned the legitimacy of the Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski.
Trump also reversed the long -term American position of Russia's isolation due to its aggression, initiating direct discussions with Moscow and expressing positions that look great to those of the Kremlin.
“For Poland, the greatest threat would be the disintegration of the cohesion of the Western community. This is why we cannot afford illusions or inaction. We cannot afford to be alone,” said Radoslaw Sikorski.
From the Tribune of the Polish Parliament, Sikorski also sent to Russia: “You will never rule here, neither in Kiev, Vilnius, Nor Riga, Tallinn nor in Chisinau,” listing the capitals of Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and the Republic of Moldova.
He also mentioned that the situation on the line of the East and Southern Ukraine is “ambiguous” and that the slow progress of the Russian forces is paid “with huge losses”.
In this context, the Polish Foreign Minister welcomed Germany's commitment to increasing defense expenses, emphasizing that “Poland and Germany bears an extraordinary responsibility for security in Europe,” according to the German press agency DPA.
“As long as Germany is a member of the EU and NATO, I am more afraid of a German aversion than the German army,” said Sikorski.
He praised the package adopted last month in the German Parliament, which modified the constitutional limits of government loans to finance an increase in defense expenses.
On Wednesday, April 23, US Vice -President JD Vance warned that Washington may give up efforts to intermediate an armistice in Ukraine if Moscow and Kiev do not agree with the terms currently in question. “I made a very explicit proposal to both Russians and Ukrainians, and it is time for them to say” yes “or that the United States will withdraw from this process,” Vance told reporters during a four -day visit to India.
The claims of JD Vance, similar to some previously issued by President Donald Trump, came on the day when top diplomats in the US and Europe did not show up to a new round of peace in Ukraine in London.
“I think the time has come to make, if not the final step, one of the final steps – namely, at a general level, the parties to say that we will stop the crimes, that we will freeze the territorial lines at a level close to the one in which it is today,” said Vance.
He acknowledged that the plan would require both Russia and Ukraine “to give up some of the territory they currently own.”
Previously, the US publication Axios reported that US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, and Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, have withdrawn from Wednesday's discussions after Ukraine said he wants to focus on a 30-day fire, rather than a larger Frame.
This framework, according to Axios, includes the US recognition of Crimea annexation by Russia, the de facto recognition of Moscow control over four other partially occupied Ukrainian regions, the reduction of sanctions and the promise of a future economic cooperation.
