– We are at the moment when it is closest to the suspension of the weapon from the moment the conflict begins, so I have high hopes with this meeting- said Kosiniak-Kamysz on Monday at a joint press conference with Deputy Prime Minister, minister of digitization Krzysztof Gawkowski.

The head of the Ministry of National Defense expressed the hope that the Friday meeting of both politicians would end “positively for the safety of Europe, Ukraine, and thus for the security of Poland.”

However, as he noted, no decision “even the most dreamy one about the desired peace, will not weaken our vigilance in cyberspace, or in building and in the transformation of the Polish Army.” According to the deputy prime minister, in such circumstances one should increase the intensity of actions, because Russia and its allies would gain time to recreate its military abilities. – We can never waste this time and such an eventuality, we have such a plan. We are ready – emphasized the head of the Ministry of National Defense.

At a press conference, the vice -presidents were also asked about President Karol Nawrocki's working meeting planned for September 3 with President Trump.
