Russia is lying about Poland's plans to annex part of Ukraine
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski has denied the Russian propaganda thesis that Warsaw intends to annex part of Ukraine's territories. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to RMF.
"Russia is lying about Poland's alleged plans to annex part of Ukraine. Donbas is Ukraine; Crimea is Ukraine. Lviv, Volyn, former Eastern Galicia are also Ukraine. That is why I am repeating this so that the Kremlin can hear it: Lviv is Ukraine," the Foreign Minister said.
He emphasized that Russian leaders and propagandists want to divide Poles and Ukrainians.
He noted that Poland had joined the G7 declaration on mutual long-term commitments to Ukraine to increase the effectiveness of its actions. He emphasized that as a neighboring country, military, humanitarian, and energy center, Warsaw wants to participate in the formation of these commitments and not watch from the sidelines, as others do.
The Minister noted that Polish companies have an important role to play in rebuilding Ukraine's economy and infrastructure. He emphasized that the position of the Commissioner for the Reconstruction of Ukraine was created to support their efforts. He said that a representative office of the United Nations Office for Project Services will also start operating in Poland in the near future.
He emphasized that Russia must be held accountable for the damage done to Ukraine so far. He noted that effective EU sanctions are a significant tool in the fight against the aggressor.
