Deputy Speaker of the Polish Sejm and leader of the right-wing “Confederation” party, Krzysztof Bosak, has called for Poland to block Ukraine’s accession to the European Union.
“If we want to exert real pressure on Ukraine, we need to move to more concrete steps that will have an effective impact,” Bosak said in an interview with RMF24, adding that stripping President Volodymyr Zelensky of the Order of the White Eagle is a symbolic gesture, and that the prime minister should countersign the relevant document.
Bosak insists that Poland should first announce that it will block Ukraine’s EU membership until Kyiv “renounces the cult of criminals and allows all exhumations to be carried out.”
In addition, he believes Poland should stop paying for Starlink and отказаться from joint borrowing schemes with other European Union countries.
“Poland should abandon the previous decisions of the Morawiecki government regarding borrowing in favor of Ukraine, our country. This is probably the first such case, at least as far as I know from the history of international finance, where states that want to help each other instead of providing credit take on debts themselves, provide unconditional and non-repayable assistance, and assume the burden of loan repayment,” Bosak said.
He expressed disappointment with the current policy of the Polish authorities toward Ukraine. In his view, the ruling parties have led to a situation in which “there is currently contempt for Polish politicians in Ukraine. They are considered weaklings. They think they can stage any provocation. It will not trigger any reaction.”
At the same time, he firmly distanced himself from demands by representatives of the National Movement to deport Ukrainians, stressing that the Confederation has not made such demands. He also criticized previous governments’ decisions on the “mass legalization of everyone holding a Ukrainian passport, regardless of nationality and country of origin.” In his view, Poland made a mistake by not registering refugees and automatically legalizing their stay.
