Lewicki: There is no co-decision without commitment

In Polish media, especially any opposition media, there is late a spectacle of tearing up clothes, which is due to the non-participation of any Polish delegation in meetings, which aim to make conditions for peace, or even permanent ceasefire in Ukraine. An observer who does not know the subject well might get the incorrect impression that this room, erstwhile discussed in Washington, London, Paris or late Berlin, is to be concluded between Ukraine and any Western states. Meanwhile, as we know, it is about ending the military confrontation between Russia and Ukraine.
Why, then, commentators are excited about what is said at meetings in Western capitals, since it is apparent that the position developed there may not substance if Russia does not accept it as a basis for further findings. With a small more insight, 1 could besides conclude, and this would be rather close to the truth, that it is about developing conditions and a common position to establish peace between Ukraine and the countries of the West with it, on the 1 hand, and Russia on the other. specified an approach, nevertheless legitimate, would, however, somewhat agree with Russia's position, which has long argued that the war is not only with Ukraine, but with the full strategy of 45 countries, mostly Western, which are formally referred to by Russia as "unfriendly states", and whose inventory is constantly being updated by the Russian MFA. erstwhile considering this in specified a context, it is only becoming understandable that Ukraine and the most important, and the most engaged, among these "unfriendly countries" of Russia meet together to establish conditions of peace with Russia.
Having specified a defined and established phase of events, any in Poland are very disappointed that Poland is not among those most active in the confrontation with Russia, which states, as is obvious, will besides bear the top work for the implementation of the peace process, but can besides be put into further war if the full thing does not end with the establishment of this peace. In this sense, it may seem that the distance from participation in the conditions may be more secure, due to the fact that then we cannot be forced to bear the direct costs if something goes wrong, and in addition, we may be blamed for this, as was the case with Mrs Merkel, whose fresh message was perceived as an effort to charge Poland and the Baltic countries for the current war, and this is due to the fact that they disagree with any concessions towards Russia.
In view of the above conditions, it is crucial to be careful about Polish participation in the peace process, as this may yet entail costs so large for us that they will be unacceptable. This part of the opposition, mainly the PiS, which makes a charge for the current government that it did not participate in the improvement of the conditions of future peace, does not seem to realize this, but this cautious approach by Tusk is 1 of the main reasons for the fresh increase in polling quotations for the KO, and at the same time, albeit small, decline for the PiS. This knowing of the causes of these changes is further reinforced by the increase in the number of Grzegorz Braun, who completely distances themselves from supporting Ukraine.
In politics, it is not that influence can be exerted for free, that it costs nothing. It appears here that the main origin of the war on independency of the 13 British colonies in America was the British government's desire to impose greater taxes on these colonies. The representation of the colonists then came with the slogan "No Taxation Without Representation", which meant that the colonists did not accept taxes imposed by the British Parliament, in which they had no representatives. Although the British argued that the colonists had "virtual representation", The Americans demanded real participation in government and taxation decisions, which yet led to the Declaration of independency of 4 July 1776. Similarly, taking into account differences and proportions, it is possible to describe Poland's current position regarding the situation in Ukraine. Since we are not straight active in the rules of peace, we may feel relieved of the main consequences of securing and guaranteeing this contract, which may not only be dangerous for us, but besides hard to bear. any see only 1 aspect of the current state of passive participation of Poland in the peace process, which they respect as detracting to the importance of our country. At the same time, they do not want to realize that there is no co-decision without real commitment and the cost of commitments which can yet result, in this case, in sending our soldiers to Ukraine.
