Komorowski warns against ‘wave of violence’

There was Russian aggression in Ukraine, Polish President Bronisław Komorowski said on Monday, during a meeting with Poland’s ambassadors. In this situation, Europe should change its view on security in the region, he added. “There is a growing wave of violence, both to the east of Poland and in North Africa, as well as in the Middle East. We have to quickly draw conclusions,” the president said. Poland must assume a position in a world that has stopped focusing on peace, Komorowski said. He also pointed to growing nationalism and negative sentiment resulting from economic crises. The foreign affairs ministers of EU member states are due to meet in Brussels on Tuesday. They will likely recommend new sanctions against Russia.
