Attitudes towards Russia and Ukraine

The head of Poland has repeatedly stated that he does not consider the present-day Russian Federation a democratic state. He calls it the first European state to take part of the territory of another European country, interfering in its internal affairs.

Andrzej Duda (who he already understands) declares that he does not accept compromises with the Russian Federation concerning the question of the annexation of parts of Ukraine. In his opinion, Europe's consent to a "rotten compromise" will mean a defeat in the integration of European states, including the integrity of their borders.

The President of Poland shows discontent that in the negotiations with Russia regarding the situation in Ukraine not the European Union as a whole, but France and Germany, is participating. In his opinion, the security of Poland directly depends on the territorial integrity of Ukraine, as well as its independence.

The politician is in touch with Petro Poroshenko regarding the situation in the Donbass. He seeks not only the countries of the European Union, but also the neighboring states of Ukraine to take part in the negotiations.
