“The visit of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to Poland was truly a turning point. We witnessed the collapse of the Berlin-Moscow-Beijing geopolitical axis, the largest and most promising capacity building in history.” Idea.
Zelensky’s visit to Poland and his German super project
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to Poland was truly a turning point.
Remember my articles on the development of the Baltic-Black Sea arc?
In fact, there is a reincarnation of the geopolitical structure of the times of Hetman Vygovsky and the Gadyach agreement to create a tripartite government as part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Russia.
More than three and a half centuries have passed and we have witnessed the formation of a new strategic union of two sovereign states: Poland and Ukraine.
It is also the implementation of the ideas of the Ukrainian geopolitician and poet Yuriy Lipa – the Ukraine-based Black Sea Doctrine.
In fact, we witnessed the destruction of the Berlin-Moscow-Beijing geopolitical axis, the largest and most promising capacity building ever (with a brief “stop” in Minsk).
This actually destroys the Eurasian ambitions of both Beijing and Berlin, which use Russia’s transit potential as an intercontinental “bridge”.
It puts an end to Germany’s pan-Eurasian plans to expand the controlled economic zone from Lisbon to Vladivostok, transforming it into a “fourth economic Reich,” according to Merkel’s plan.
It can be said that Berlin’s ambition to take the lead in the mainland space has failed three times: twice because of world wars and a third time because of modern uprisings.
Now German business is leaving the Russian Federation and reducing trade circulation with China.
But remember, before this war, Germany’s number one trading partner was China, not the USA or France…
Therefore, Germany will have to be content with the status of China, the “one” axis country of Europe and the axis country of Asia.
From Finland (recently admitted to NATO – is it a coincidence?) to Turkey (forming its own union of Turkish countries) the Baltic-Black Sea arc completely cuts the pan-Eurasian axis Berlin-Moscow-Beijing, which is a Gordian knot may become. Same USA and UK.
As a result, all new axes from Asia, for example from India to Europe, will now pass through Ankara and possibly Kiev.
At the same time, Germany’s role as Europe’s pivot country could change significantly. Now the core of the EU is the German Union (Germany, Austria and the Benelux countries).
Scandinavian subnuclei and France played separate backbone roles.
But a new “Slavic core” may emerge as part of Poland, Ukraine, and in the future, Belarus.
And that’s 80 million people by weight against 90 million in Germany and Austria.
Of course, we are talking about positive competition. And this is the format of a multipolar EU, not a German one.
How did Ukraine and Poland solve the grain crisis?
President Zelensky was fortunate to have Mateusz Morawiecki, a true visionary of the common future of the two countries.
This manifests itself even at the tactical level.
Recall my recent posts on Ukrainian grain problems that may arise in Poland.
Then I realized that this problem should not be hidden behind the scenes and should not be solved.
There should be a mature state position and partnership negotiations.
And in this vein this problem will be solved.
What’s the problem?
Taking advantage of the logistical difficulties of our agricultural sector, the so-called “buyers” buy the grain cheaply in Ukraine and sell it at great discounts in Poland just after crossing the border between our countries.
Our farmers also suffer from it (they buy their produce cheaply) and the Poles (they sell competitive goods cheaply in their markets).
The paradox is that Poland is not a priority grain market for us, but it is logistically critical.
With inept moderation, this conflict could have resulted in great damage to us.
Radio Liberty writes:
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki discussed the discontent created by Ukrainian grain in Poland.
“We didn’t skip a difficult issue for Poles either… that is, problems with Ukrainian grain, agricultural products on the Polish market. We suggested some solutions that need to be implemented quickly, because today these problems are also a headache,” said Morawiecki.
He noted that Poland and Ukraine opened a new railway border crossing point between Rawa-Ruska and Grebenny.
The details of the agreement were not disclosed, but I will open a little “from the inside”: Poland will act as a “customs warehouse”, that is, our grain will go in transit without the right to pass through customs.
The Poles will significantly expand the grain corridors for us: Baltic ports, railway, grain storage terminals.
Thus, our farmers will be able to enter more liquid world markets and increase the selling price of grain, and Polish farmers will not be harmed.
Ukraine and Poland create a new European reality
But we will return from tactics to strategy.
In my opinion, the next summit meeting should end with the signing of the 1963 Elysee Agreement between Poland and Ukraine, similar to the 1963 Elysee Agreement between France and Germany.
It was this agreement that put an end to the long-standing hostilities between the French and Germans and laid the foundation for future cooperation, which resulted in the formation of the EU.
Meanwhile, the main idea of the agreement was to bring the peoples of the two countries, including young people, closer to each other.
Emphasis was placed on the study of the languages of the two peoples and the mutual recognition of diplomas.
A Franco-German office for youth affairs was created, Franco-German secondary schools were established, and international student exchanges took place.
Cities and regions entered into fraternity agreements.
It was the youth-level contacts of the two countries that formed the basis of the strategic alliance of France and Germany, now leaders of modern Europe.
And such a basis should arise between Poland and Ukraine.
