Details: Gawkowski also called Nawrocki’s stance a "humiliation" of the pro-Ukraine policy pursued by his predecessor Andrzej Duda.
Quote: "Russians rejoice at President Nawrocki’s position of blocking support for Ukraine! Hundreds of Russian trolls are applauding under posts from the Chancellery and trying to dissuade Poland from helping Ukraine in its fight for independence."
Details: Gawkowski noted that Russians "praise Poland for changing its attitude towards its neighbour, and Putin has gained a new ally in Europe".
"We did not have to wait long for the new president to act in support of Russian imperialism. But Poland will never join the axis of evil, no matter how much Karol Nawrocki and his hatred-blinded entourage want it," Gawkowski stressed.
Background:
- A new draft law by Poland’s President Karol Nawrocki, which limits aid to Ukrainians, provides for access to services and healthcare only for those citizens who work and pay contributions in Poland.
- On 25 August, Nawrocki vetoed a new version of the law on assistance to citizens of Ukraine.
- He also announced a legislative initiative that would equate the symbols of Ukrainian nationalists with Nazi and communist symbols in Poland’s Criminal Code.
