Poland should participate in future negotiations regarding the war in Ukraine. After all, Polish and Ukrainian interests regarding Russia coincide.

Points of attention

  • Poland advocates for its participation in the peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, citing the alignment of Polish and Ukrainian interests in addressing Russian imperialism.
  • President Andrzej Duda emphasizes the need for extensive support for Ukraine post-war to safeguard its security and prevent potential challenges like organized crime.
  • The cooperation of stakeholders including the United States and Poland is crucial in achieving peace agreements and implementing a ceasefire plan to end the conflict in Ukraine.
  • Continuing negotiations and focusing on a ceasefire plan are essential steps towards ending the war in Ukraine and establishing lasting peace in the region.
  • The exclusion of Ukraine from US-Russian talks on ending the war, as highlighted by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, is considered risky, underscoring the importance of ongoing discussions for a peaceful resolution.

Poland seeks to participate in peace talks between Ukraine and Russia

This was stated by Polish President Andrzej Duda.

According to Duda, if the Trump administration invites other states to the negotiating table, besides Ukraine and Russia, "it would be in Ukraine's interests for Poland to be there as well."

If we look at resurgent Russian imperialism, in this particular case, Polish and Ukrainian interests coincide.

However, the Polish president was skeptical about the possibility of sending Polish troops to Ukraine.

We are going to help Ukraine in the future because it is necessary. We do not necessarily have to station our troops there.

Duda believes that the end of Russia's war against Ukraine could lead to an explosion of international organized crime. He believes that Kyiv will need "massive support" to ensure its security.

Imagine a situation where thousands of people who came from the front lines return home. Those people who are fighting with Russia, many of them will have mental problems... They will return to their villages, their cities, where they will find destroyed houses, destroyed factories, destroyed factories, a lack of work and prospects.

Peace negotiations between Ukraine and the Russian Federation

The topic of negotiations between Ukraine and Russia has again begun to be discussed with greater enthusiasm.

In particular, US President Donald Trump is currently having "very serious conversations" with Russia about ending the war in Ukraine.

At the same time, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, excluding Ukraine from US-Russian talks on ending the war would be "very dangerous." Kyiv and Washington should continue talks to develop a ceasefire plan.
