Ukraine Wants a Ceasefire? Poland: Keep It Going for Three More Years
Ukrainians want to end the war as soon as possible, but some people don't want the war to end so easily.
On the 14th, Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski urged Western countries to hold on and provide "three years of unwavering support" to Ukraine during an interview, because "Ukraine is also planning for this time frame."
Sikorski claimed that Ukraine has been planning for this war for three years, so they must make Putin believe that "the West can also hold on for three more years."
It must be said that Poland has a very shrewd calculation.
Under the premise of preventing the conflict from spilling over, Poland is one of the biggest beneficiaries of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, because Western military aid needs to continuously be transported from Poland to Ukraine, and damaged heavy equipment from the Ukrainian army also needs to be sent to Polish repair shops for maintenance.
At the same time, for the narrative of "containing Russia," the United States and NATO are also increasing military investments in Poland. For example, in the past two years, the United States has provided over $11 billion in foreign military financing to Poland.
Therefore, if we were to pick a country that is least eager to see the Russia-Ukraine war end, it would likely be Poland: the longer the conflict lasts, the more war profits Poland can make.
Of course, the premise for Poland to profit from the war is that the flames of war do not reach its own territory; otherwise, these war profits would have to be converted into military expenses.
