Nawrocki accused Tusk of intimidating the Poles with a war with Russia

Polish President Karol Nawrocki criticized Prime Minister Donald Tusk for statements about the likelihood of a military conflict with Russia in the coming months. According to the Polish leader, such rhetoric is dictated by political interests and damages Warsaw’s position among its allies, he said in an interview with Rzeczpospolita.

“I feel some dissatisfaction with irresponsible politicians who scare the Poles with war solely for political reasons and to increase ratings,” he said.

According to Nawrocki, the head of government’s statements weakened Warsaw’s position among its allies, while the real assessment of the threat from Russia has not changed over the past six months.

In response to the criticism, the Prime Minister “thanked” Nawrocki “for his honesty.”
