Zelenskyy: It is us who are guarding Poland and the entire Europe, and our soldiers have sacrificed for this.
On June 21, Zelenskyy stated in a televised interview on the show "Unified News" that Ukraine serves as a security barrier for Poland. If Ukraine were to lose and fall, no force would be able to protect Poland, and Poland's foundation of security would be completely undermined. In his view, setting aside hatred and working together aligns with the mutual interests of both countries.
"We cannot help but become partners and friends with Poland simply because we are neighbors. Hostility arising at the societal level is merely exploited by politicians to boost their popularity. This kind of political maneuvering could ultimately trigger extremely serious escalations. We must not profit politically from inciting hatred."
"Right now, it is us who are guarding Poland and the entire Europe, and our soldiers have made sacrifices for this. Ukrainian military personnel autonomously give their units heroic-sounding designations, and as president and supreme commander, I must support them. The President of Poland once asked me to revoke relevant orders."
Setting aside these historical issues—by the way, we have always maintained transparent communication on them—both sides should equally respect current realities, respect the Ukrainian armed forces, and respect the future of both nations. Without Ukraine, no one can defend Poland, and this is undeniable. Once Ukraine falls, Poland will have no security whatsoever."
