Poland should strive to admit Ukraine to NATO, because then we will be safe – said Rafał Trzaskowski in an interview with Sławomir Mentzen. – I prefer Putin to break all his teeth in Ukraine, not in Poland – said the candidate of KO.
Key facts:
- In the first round of presidential elections, on May 18, Rafał Trzaskowski found himself little before Karol Nawrocki. Recent polls indicate a draw or minimal running a PiS candidate.
- Sławomir Mentzen invited both candidates to his YouTube channel.
- On Saturday, Rafał Trzaskowski was the guest of the Confederation candidate. Nawrocki appeared on the Mentzen channel on Thursday.
- Trzaskowski answered questions related to Ukraine and its possible accession to NATO.
Sławomir Mentzen asked Rafał Trzaskowski if he would sign a law as a president regarding the ratification of Ukraine's accession to NATO.
– We do not agree here because I prefer Putin to break all his teeth in Ukraine, not in Poland – said the candidate KO. He added he wants “Ukraine to be part of Europe, and not to be in Putin's paws.”
– Putin understands only the language of strength. And only then will he not continue the war if there are security guarantees – said Trzaskowski. He added that “if these security guarantees are not, especially American, Putin will get off and attack again.” “When he sees that we are weak, it is such a threat that he will go further,” he warned.
Asked if his opinion Putin will not attack Poland, because Poland is in NATO, Trzaskowski replied: – Putin will not attack Poland if he knows that we are determined to defend the entire North Atlantic Alliance.
The KO candidate emphasized that “the North Atlantic Alliance must be strengthened, and strengthening European defense skills.” – We have to play all pianos – he noted.
Trzaskowski to Mentzen: I do not agree with you fundamentally
Mentzen said that “since Putin can attack Poland, even though we are in NATO, he can attack Ukraine, even though he will be in NATO.” He added that in such a situation we will have two options. The first is the application of Article 5. NATO and sending soldiers to Ukraine, and the second – not sending soldiers to Ukraine and ignoring Article 5. According to Mentzen, it will put Poland in a dangerous situation.
– Then the West will say, I am sorry, but if Article 5. does not oblige Poles to send the army to Ukraine, it does not oblige us to send us to Poland if Poland is attacked. For this reason, I consider to connect Ukraine to NATO as extremely dangerous for Poland – said the confederation politician.
– I do not agree with you fundamentally – said Rafał Trzaskowski. He added that he was watching Vladimir Putin And he knows his policy very well. – I know how Putin works, he understands only the language of strength – repeated Trzaskowski.
– Do you know why we fought all the time for Ukraine to be strong and that it was part of Europe? For a simple reason. Piłsudski already knew 100 years ago that if we had a buffer, which would have a security guarantee, then then Russiaif anyone is attacking, he will break his teeth on it – said the candidate of KO.
