"This will be a failure for the president." Tomczyk appeals to Nawrocki regarding Ukraine

"Where is Karol Nawrocki on the issue of Ukraine and Poland's national interest? If Ukraine is forced to capitulate, it will be a defeat for the Republic of Poland and the president," Deputy Minister of National Defense Cezary Tomczyk said on the "Graffiti" program. He explained that if the head of state doesn't use his contacts in the US, "there will be a gigantic problem."

Marcin Fijołek's guest on Wednesday's episode of "Graffiti" was Deputy Minister of National Defense Cezary Tomczyk . The host asked the Civic Coalition politician, among other things, about the war in Ukraine. A meeting of the presidents of Russia and the United States will be held in Alaska on Friday to discuss this matter.

The deputy head of the Ministry of National Defense revealed that he is counting on the president to reach a favorable solution to the conflict from Poland's point of view.

"This will be a huge problem." Tomczyk appeals to Nawrocki

- If President Nawrocki does not take advantage of his relations with America, as he himself says, exceptional, and it comes to a point where Ukraine will have to sign some act of capitulation, it will be a gigantic problem for the Republic of Poland for many years to come - said the politician.

The politician emphasized that Western countries have the potential to force the Kremlin to reach a solution favorable to Ukraine. He explained that peace cannot be negotiated without Ukraine, in accordance with the principle of "nothing about us without us." He recalled, among other things, the historic Yalta Conference, which ended tragically for Poland and our part of Europe.

"It's not about convincing, but about power. Today, power lies with the United States and Europe , which, together with the US and NATO, has greater potential than Russia. And we have these opportunities (to influence the Kremlin - ed.) today," he explained.

Karol Nawrocki flies to the US. Cezary Tomczyk: I expect the president to be active.

The host of "Graffiti" asked the deputy minister of national defense about the president's visit to the White House scheduled for September 3.

"Karol Nawrocki will, of course, be briefed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs on the government's policy. I want to emphasize that the president cannot avoid responsibility (for state affairs - ed.). He is the best-informed person in the country – next to the prime minister – on this matter. He knows all the scenarios related to Ukraine and Poland's position in the world (...). I demand that President Karol Nawrocki take action in this area," said Cezary Tomczyk.

The Civic Coalition politician also spoke about Donald Trump's upcoming conversation with Vladimir Putin in Alaska. The European leaders will connect remotely with the White House later today.

"Today, Donald Tusk will hold a conversation with President Trump and other leaders as part of the preparations for the Trump-Putin meeting. Europe will discuss its expectations ," the deputy minister of national defense said.
