Donald Trump on 22 September during the 81st session of the UN General Assembly expressed hope that the war in Ukraine would shortly end, and urged Vladimir Putin to interrupt it. In fresh York, Karol Nawrocki talks with leaders. For Poland, credible force on Russia and the safety of the east flank of NATO is at stake.
Trump speaks of the end of the war, but the deadline has not expired.
Donald Trump utilized his speech at the United Nations to reprove the end of the Russian war against Ukraine. Before entering the gathering he answered journalists with a brief appeal addressed to Vladimir Putin: he is to end the war. During the speech, the American president expressed hope that the conflict would shortly come to an end. However, he did not specify the date or terms of the agreement.
It's an crucial distinction. Peace does not arise from the declaration itself, especially erstwhile Moscow continues to attack, and talks about reducing impacts on energy infrastructure have not produced lasting results. By Associated Press relations with the 81st session of the UN General Assembly Trump besides recalled fresh sanctioning powers against countries purchasing Russian oil and gas. He said he could scope for it if necessary.
Poland needs a peace based on strength
For Poland, the fast end of the war is desirable, but not for the price of the aggressor award. Russia understands the language of strength, costs and consequences. If the Kremlin considers that force allows borders to be moved, the force will not halt in Ukraine. It will hit the safety of the full Central Europe, defence expenses of the Polish state and the feeling of safety of Polish families.
That is why American policy is important: US military presence in the region, NATO's ability to deter and the real costs imposed on the Russian economy. The National diary has already written that Poland must be ready for further Russian provocations. Diplomacy is needed, but its facilities must stay strong.
Trump met with the president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenski in fresh York. The very fact of the discussion at the highest level matters, but for Warsaw it is most crucial to keep a hard transatlantic bond. Poland cannot accept the arrangement prepared above the heads of the countries most exposed to Russian imperialism.
Nawrocki builds Poland's position in fresh York
Karol Nawrocki participates in the general debate of the 81st session of the UN General Assembly and conducts a series of talks at its margins. As shown by Official Program of the Chancellery of the president of Poland, on 22 September, the president met with the president of the African Union, who is at the same time president of Burundi, and in the evening was to attend the reception issued by Donald Trump and the first woman of the United States.
A day earlier, the Polish leader spoke with UN Secretary General Antón Guterres and UN General Assembly president Chalilur Rahman. He besides met with the Presidents of Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia. The subject of the region's discussion was the safety of Central, North and east Europe. It is simply a natural direction of Polish diplomacy. Countries closer to Russia know best how much paper guarantees are worth without the ability to defend themselves.
Nawrocki's fresh York activity besides has an economical dimension. The president participates in talks of Polish-American entrepreneurs, seeking capital and technology. Earlier Karol Nawrocki's contacts with Donald Trump they show that the presidential channel can be useful for Poland. However, it must service circumstantial interests: security, investment and the permanent presence of the United States in our part of Europe.
Declarations must translate into pressure
Trump's words give hope, but they will not halt Russian attacks themselves. Poland's right state requires peace, which will not become a break before another aggression. There is simply a request for deterrent conditions for Moscow and for the participation of the countries of the region in discussions on the future safety order.
Nawrocks should usage UN meetings to remind them of this simple principle. The stronger Warsaw voice in Washington and among the east flank states, the little hazard that Poles will pay the bill for another people's delusions again.
