Poland’s Minister of Defense, Wladislaw Kosiniak Kamisz, has again ruled out this Thursday the country’s participation in a hypothetical peace mission in Ukraine and has strongly rejected the “speculations” expressed during the last days in this regard.
“The idea that the military military will be sent to Ukraine is a gross manipulation, an attempt to spread lies and misinformation,” he said in statements to the Polish press.
Thus, he explained that discussions on this matter can only be about the idea that members of the Polish forces move to Ukrainian territory as part of the security device in case high positions of the government visit Ukraine and especially kyiv, the capital.
-“In these cases, military personnel can be involved,” he said, while emphasizing that Warsaw “does not participate or participate in any peace mission in Ukraine.” “The Government, the President and the Prime Minister have made it clear: we are not going to send troops,” he finished.
The Polish government had previously shown its reluctance to send troops to the neighboring country, although it has defended that other countries, such as France and the United Kingdom, have “power” to do so. Thus, he said in the past the “strategy” of the president of France, Emmanuel Macron, who insists not to rule out the option of military deployment to achieve victory against Moscow.
United Kingdom and France lead a proposal to lead a deployment, of which the United States, for example, has been more skeptical. Ukraine, meanwhile, has embraced the initiative as a prior step to greater security guarantees such as entry into the EU or the unlikely adhesion to NATO.
