Poland needs strong Ukraine, Belarus and the Baltics - Sikorski
22:50
The existence of independent Ukraine, Belarus and the Baltic states is fundamental for Poland’s foreign policy, Foreign Affairs Minister Radosław Sikorski said in his annual policy speech in parliament. The countries should be strong, independent and in good relations with Poland, he added.
He said the reaction of both Poland and the EU to Russian intervention in Ukraine should be “firm yet balanced.” He added that there is a “strange war” going on in Ukreine, with few shots fired, but with information being a key weapon. He suggested that a European Russian-language television station should be created.
While he condemned Russia’s policy toward Ukraine, Sikorski stressed that Poland needs good relations also with that country. “The fulfillment of NATO membership criteria by Russia would be in our interest,” he said.
