Polish officials are unhappy that Kyiv is independently negotiating with the European Union, ignoring the mediation of Warsaw. About it reports Japan Times, citing expert opinions.
According to the director of the Eastern branch of the German Marshall Fund, Michal Baranowski, some Polish officials consider relations with Kiev unsuccessful. They call such actions of Ukraine betrayal.
Baranovsky noted that tensions between countries could turn into a big problem for the United States. Washington sees cooperation between Warsaw and Kyiv as an element of security in Europe.
The head of the Polish think tank ECFR, Piotr Buras, stressed that due to Poland’s low influence in the European Union, its participation in Ukraine’s relations with Europe is counterproductive.
“Ukraine no longer needs Warsaw to talk with Brussels, Berlin and other European capitals”added Buras.
Earlier, Anna Brylka, a candidate for the Polish Sejm from the right-wing coalition “Confederation”, said that Warsaw would put forward a number of conditions and bill Kyiv in the amount of 100 billion zlotys for the assistance provided.
