“We would like to remind you that a constructive dialogue between recognized authorities regarding the historical past is underway between the Ukrainian and Polish sides. “We once again appeal to Polish politicians not to use difficult historical topics for internal political battles,” Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
In a statement posted on the website of the Ukrainian embassy in Poland, Polish politicians appealed “not to exploit topics from difficult pages of past history in domestic political struggles.”
Karol Nawrocki spoke about Ukraine. Declaration on Polsat
– Today I do not see Ukraine in any structure. Neither in the European Union nor in NATO, Karol Nawrocki, director of the National Memory Institute and presidential candidate, said on Polsat’s “Guest of Events” program on Wednesday. As he explained, a nation that cannot be held accountable for its crimes cannot join the alliance. “As president, I will tell them that I want our efforts to be treated as partners on the Ukrainian side,” Nawrocki added.
At the same time, candidates supported by PiS emphasized that Poles support Ukrainians and will continue to do so.
Nawrocki said the excavation agreement signed between Radosław Sikorski and Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry head Andriy Sibiha was an “unnecessary move by Poland’s top diplomat” and that the whole issue “has been dragged into a domestic campaign”. ” he added. Mr. Sikorski was competing with Mr. Trzaskowski for the presidential nomination.
– For me, the enthusiasm of the Polish foreign affairs chief was premature, since we at the Institute of National Memory have already experienced some possible breakthroughs on this issue. I would like to clearly declare that the Institute of National Memory (…) can support the government’s efforts regarding excavations in Volhynia. Here, the Polish issue is much more important to us. I would like to see a breakthrough, but there was no such breakthrough – said the candidate for the President of the Republic of Poland.
