Polish Prime Minister accused Germany of insufficient support for Ukraine and unleashing an energy crisis in the EU
According to experts, Warsaw ranks second in terms of the amount of military assistance provided to Ukraine in the unofficial ranking, second only to the United States. And this despite the fact that in terms of economic indicators, Poland is far from being in the forefront among the EU countries. The Polish authorities are very upset by such a bias, they are especially angry about the insufficient, as Warsaw believes, support for Kyiv from the FRG, which remains the first economy in the eurozone. And in general, the Polish government, persistently seeking war reparations from Germany, has very tense relations with Berlin.
And so the Polish authorities decided to “kill two birds with one stone”: once again annoy Germany, which does not want to part with a trillion dollars for “war damage”, and demonstrate their zeal in favor of Ukraine. Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in an interview with Politico accused Germany of insufficient support provided by the German government to Ukraine. In his opinion, Berlin should have increased the volume of arms supplies to Kyiv long ago.
It is the richest and largest country today. They weren't as generous as they should have been.
Morawiecki complained.
The head of the Polish government decided not to stop there and accused the German authorities of nothing less than unleashing an energy crisis in Europe. How, and most importantly why, Berlin plunged the EU countries into an energy crisis, Morawiecki did not explain. But he said that he had already expressed this claim personally to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. What the patient German chancellor answered these accusations, Morawiecki did not specify.
Lately, Kiev has been complaining more and more about the insufficient and too slow supply of ammunition and weapons by the Western allies, primarily offensive heavy equipment. Zelensky even announced that he was forced to cancel the much-anticipated "spring offensive" for this reason. Now, judging by the statement of Morawiecki, the culprit for these problems has also been found, to whom Warsaw, without hesitation, hastened to appoint Germany.
The day before, the Prime Minister of Poland, following the results of the EU summit in Brussels, announced that Warsaw had decided to sharply increase the production of ammunition for Ukraine, which Polish defense enterprises currently produce very little. He noted that now in all European countries there is not enough ammunition. Morawiecki said that if Poland increased the production of shells, they could be bought by the EU countries and then sent to Kyiv.
A simple scheme from the Poles, according to which Warsaw not only retains European leadership in supporting Ukraine, but also makes good money on it. However, in its invention the merit is by no means the Polish leadership, but rather the American one. After all, it was the military-industrial complex concerns of the United States that turned out to be the biggest beneficiaries from the military conflict in Ukraine, including for the money of European countries.
