As the head of Polish diplomacy noted, it is important to deprive the aggressor country of the resources necessary to continue the war against Ukraine.
Against this background, Radosław Sikorski criticized Donald Trump's recent decisions regarding Russia.
"We should have gotten sanctions, but instead we got Alaska. And since then, as you said, the attacks have intensified," the Polish diplomat embarrassed the US president.
In addition, during his visit to Kyiv, Sikorsky responded to Trump's statement, in which the head of the White House suggested that the incursion of Russian drones into Polish territory could have been a "mistake." According to him, it was not an accident.
