"In fact, Poland is not arming itself." Polish journalist about Defense Ministry reports


“I would like to reassure our Belarusian neighbors. As far as I am interested, as far as I know and read even from the official reports of the Ministry of Defense, reports that the previous authorities carefully concealed, in fact Poland is not arming itself,” Yastrzembski noted.

The authorities will proceed with caution. Expert on the changing attitude of Poland towards Belarus and Russia

“Today’s government, despite all their disadvantages, is more pragmatic, it does not have an ideology of hatred towards the East, Slavic culture. They will be guided not by hatred, but by pragmatism, but within the framework that suits the West and NATO. They will try to get what “economic benefit for entrepreneurs, for rich people,” the journalist said.

He added that all restrictions and embargoes mean huge losses of income, loss of huge sales markets, loss of access to a large number of goods that are not on the Polish market. “Border trade used to flourish. Many people curse the embargo because they can’t trade freely like they did a few years ago,” he noted.
