The words of the head of Polish diplomacy are a reaction to the increasingly harsh rhetoric of some European far-right politicians towards the European Union. Jarosław Kaczyński, in one of his recent speeches, spoke about “federalist plans from Brussels”, which – in his opinion – are to lead to the deprivation of Poland's sovereignty.

In turn, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán suggested that some Western countries, including EU member states, are seeking to “partition” Ukraine after the end of the war.
There is a reaction to Jarosław Kaczyński's words about the EU. What did Radosław Sikorski write?
In his entry, Sikorski emphasized that such narratives support Russian propaganda, which for years has been trying to present the EU as internally divided and threatening the national interests of member states. In his opinion Moscow is the real source of destabilization for both Ukraine and the European community.
“According to Kaczyński, the European Union wants to take away Poland's statehood, and according to Orbán, partition Ukraine. In fact, Putin wants to conquer Ukraine and break up the EU. The nationalists are not eloquent enough to deal with the threat from the East“- wrote Sikorski.
The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has repeatedly appealed to maintain Western unity in the face of Russian aggression. In recent weeks, in the context of discussions on further support for Kiev, Sikorski warned that “any sign of hesitation or indifference towards the war in Ukraine is interpreted by the Kremlin as an encouragement to further aggression.”
