Relations with Ukraine are currently "not best", - Polish MFA
Poland said that relations with Ukraine "have not been the best lately" due to statements by Ukrainian authorities.
Deputy Foreign Minister of Poland Pawel Jablonski said this on the air of a Polish radio station, Censor.NET reports citing Evropeiska Pravda.
According to him, there are many issues on which there is "no agreement" between Poland and Ukraine.
A representative of the Polish Foreign Ministry also spoke about an upcoming meeting with a representative of the Ukrainian Embassy.
"The conversation will be very frank. It will be very specific, as always. We will convey our assessment of the current state of our relations, which, unfortunately, due to the statements made by some representatives of the Ukrainian authorities recently, is not the best. No one is hiding this," Yablonski said.
He believes that the representatives of Ukraine "have some emotions", but, according to him, Poland remains "lenient" because Ukraine was attacked. According to the Polish Deputy Foreign Minister, Ukraine "should not attack its allies either".
"We are guided by the policy of Polish national interests. We support Ukraine to the extent that it is in line with Polish national interests. This has always been the case and will always be the case," the Polish Deputy Foreign Minister added.
To recap, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry summoned the Polish ambassador because of Polish Minister Przychod's statements about the alleged lack of gratitude of Ukrainians for Poland's assistance. After that, the Polish Foreign Ministry also summoned the Ukrainian ambassador.
Polish Prime Minister Morawiecki calls Ukraine's summons of the Polish ambassador to the Foreign Ministry a mistake. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy said that emotions should cool down. "We will not allow any political moments to spoil the relations between the Ukrainian and Polish peoples," he said.
