You can clearly see some chaos, but there are some unfortunately not good matters. The first matter, this is the desire to end the war at all costs and at the expense of Ukraine – said in “Facts after Facts” on TVN24 former deputy head of the Ministry of National Defense Janusz Zemke, asked about the US strategy regarding bringing peace in Ukraine. The former commander of the GROM unit General Roman Polko noticed “getting rid of tributes”.
US President Donald Trump talked on Wednesday with the Russian leader Vladimir Putin. After this conversation, Trump reported that they agreed to start peaceful negotiations on Ukraine.
The former commander of the GROM unit General Roman Polko, asked on Saturday in “Facts after Facts” on TVN24, whether he sees the thoughtful strategy from the American side about bringing peace in Ukraine, said that “some are talking about some negotiating fog.” – I don't see any fog here, just getting rid of the advantage cards. First of all, devoting a part of Ukraine, excluding Ukraine from the NATO alliance – he said. The Secretary of Defense of the United States Pete Hegeth said on Wednesday in Brussels that Ukraine's membership in NATO is “unrealistic”. He also recognized the return of Ukraine to the borders before 2014 as “unrealistic”.
According to Poland, “there is no idea.” – It is difficult to negotiate if the specifics of the area to which these negotiations are to apply to – he added. – Without agreement with Ukraine itself, with the other side, without agreement with NATO partners, or with friends from the European Union, going out was a mistake and it is difficult to call it differently and it is difficult to justify some fog – he assessed.
“Several bad matters emerge”
According to the former deputy head of the Ministry of National Defense Janusz Zemke, “part of the strategy, however, is.”
– You can clearly see some chaos. It seems to me that not fully controlled, because we have some different information every day, but from this chaos, however, something emerges, and in my opinion a few unfortunately bad matters emerge – he said.
– The first matter, this is the desire to end the war at all costs and at the expense of Ukraine. (…) And the second element is if you can do some business for the United States, let's do it – he pointed out. “For me it is quite a terrible situation,” said Zemke. He mentioned the issue of Ukrainian deposits of rare lands. Trump expressed interest in the conclusion of a contract with Ukraine, which would award the US wide access to them.
– The question arises whether we will be independence and the sovereignty of individual countries in dollars – said Zemke.
– It used to be called neo -colonialism and I would say that the new US administration shows its not very nice, maybe not the whole face, but at least half of the face – he added.
“Americans undertake actions that are not good from the point of Russia”
He was asked if “Putin was surprised how easy to negotiate or what presents he got.” “Putin may be surprised, but it cannot be completely surprised, because in parallel, the Americans, however, take actions that from Russia are not good activities,” he said.
He drew attention to two elements. – The first element, the Americans provide Ukraine all the time weapons, they did not stop these supplies. And the second, they do not say, for example, that Ukrainians cannot offend their goals in Russia. Before that (Joe) Biden and Biden administration was quite cautious here. Today, this type of formation is not falling and Ukrainians quite effectively hit various warehouses and Russian refineries – he noted.
He added that from Russia's point of view it complicates the situation.
