President of Poland: Ukraine is like a drowning man - if you try to save it, you yourself can go to the bottom

Continuing his visit to New York, where he spoke from the rostrum of the UN General Assembly, Polish President Andrzej Duda made noteworthy comments about Ukraine. As Military Review previously reported, Duda reminded Kiev that if it continues to exaggerate the topic of appealing to the European Court in connection with the Polish ban on the import of Ukrainian grain, then at the same time it should not forget that Poland is the main country for the transit of Western military aid Ukraine.

After this, Duda made other statements that were perceived in Kyiv, to put it mildly, as unfriendly.



Polish President at a briefing in New York:

Ukraine today is like a drowning man who, if you try to save him, can be dragged to the bottom. Anyone who has experienced rescuing a drowning person knows the danger this brings. You can go underwater with him. A drowning person is incredibly dangerous and can be dragged to depths.

According to Duda, due to the armed conflict with Russia, Ukraine is in a difficult situation, and it, “like a drowning man, is grabbing at everything he can.”

Polish President:

Is it possible to be offended by her for this? Certainly. And be indignant. But we must act mainly in such a way as not to harm ourselves. We will take care to protect Polish interests.

This is how Duda commented on the same ban on the import of Ukrainian agricultural products, which was mentioned above.

The election rhetoric is clearly visible.

Earlier, the Polish Ministry of Agriculture called for preparations for the fact that Ukraine would introduce a retaliatory ban on the import of agricultural products from Poland. These are apples, onions, potatoes, etc.

        Vladimir Vladimirovich Vorontsov hi, for now this is just a game of words for the public, when real actions begin (if they happen) it will be possible to draw conclusions, but for now the dear ones are scolding and just amusing themselves.

          Poland is a good enemy. Sincere.
          But he's a lousy friend. Very bad.
          It’s better to have Poland as an enemy, so that you don’t accidentally make friends

        America got it, they told Duda in confidence, in his ear. They are still afraid to speak out loud in case everyone realizes it at the same time. Who will pay for salvation then?

            They will begin to throw away the Ukrainian miracle without a handle en masse when America gets tired of carrying it, and the rest simply cannot do it anymore. America will throw it - and the rest will throw it to each other, like boys throwing a dead frog in childhood.

              Igor hi I have long seen in an old Soviet book a photograph of a painting by a pre-revolutionary Ukrainian artist. There, against the backdrop of the Apian Way, a cunning old hunchbacked bawd (an allegory of Europe or some characters) is leading a young, beautiful, naive girl in an elegant embroidered shirt for sale, this is Ukraine
              The name seems to be --- on the way to Europe. This is the beginning of the last century, before or after 1905. No matter how much I searched online, I couldn’t find it. Was it stolen or destroyed? Nothing changed

        With all the Russophobia, the countries of Western Europe must understand that setting fire to the grass and buildings on a neighbor’s property is dangerous for themselves; the wind will blow in their direction and they themselves will burn. The USA, overseas, protects them with water, but these people play with matches.

      Of course, this is a good “signal” for us, but there is a problem. Poland is not a sovereign country with all the problems that entails. For them and for us.

      With all my dislike for Duda, he is right about this. If only other “friends of Ukraine” who are actively helping her and against whom she is suing and writing slander to the WTO would understand this. But Duda, in his speech at the UN, fawned over the United States so much, pouring out gratitude and devotion, that it was sickening to listen to. It turns out that the United States played a decisive role in the victory in WW1 and, of course, in the victory in WW2, bringing freedom to Poland.

        rotmistr60 hi, that’s right, he fawned, if Washington barks, then Duda will have to waste the grain and bury his farmers and supply weapons and share soldiers and money and support refugees, in general, do what Warsheva really doesn’t want and, most importantly, they won’t be allowed to take away Westernism.

        Americans like to argue that they are on the “right side” of history.
        Poland and all the other sycophants of America are themselves unable to determine the “correct” side of history.
        Well, if they can’t do that, then at least they chose the “strong” side. Which will win as a result.
        As the history of their wars with Russia shows, they don’t know how to do that either.

        The ability to choose who will win is important not only in betting.

        And Duda will be completely right not now, arguing that you can drown with Ukraine out of solidarity, but then when he says:
        But Russia, after all, did everything right. And we always supported her. Somewhere deep, deep in my soul. It was just America that forced us to do everything the other way around.

        In the last century, this awareness came to Europe in 1945. Let's see when they figure it out in this century.

          There is an opposition party in Poland. Sometimes there are pro-Russian words. But it seems to me that one cannot step over the past centuries. In my opinion, Igor hi they will always hiss viciously against Russia, like snakes. .This is already at the genetic level.

            That is why I am sure that the next partition of Poland should be the last in history.

            One very intelligent man, “according to whose precepts” we lived for 70 years, raised a piece of small-town who knows what to a status equal to Russia - to a fraternal republic. The Georgian seminarian showed pity for the Germans and saved Germany. The corn lover felt sorry for the Banderaites and, so as not to be offended, gave them Crimea.
            But you never know how many of them “wanted the best, but blinded themselves as usual”!...
            For me personally, the limit of pity at the state level has been exhausted for the next 500 years, at least. And it will be seen there.

              Yes, Igor, the situation with the United States should, as it were, repeat itself, like with Napoleon, or with Germany, to be destroyed for helping the enemies of Russia.
              But “pity” for the Poles and there is no reason to help them is incomprehensible to me. And besides the Bolsheviks, Russian intellectuals suffered from this, both in the 19th century (remember Aviator’s article here), and some Russian tsars. For some reason, the Bolsheviks did not see the Poles as simply Russophobes and invaders, but considered them fighters against autocracy and believed that they would support the world revolution

      If we consider this statement in conjunction with what has been happening lately in the media space, we can say that Ukraine is being swallowed up. Most likely, only Zelensky’s gangs with all sins written off on him, in an attempt to maintain the anti-Russian system. Let's see....

      So Duda was told to say this, so that someone third, not the USA or Great Britain... would convey the idea from afar

      To which Poland can respond by banning the export of shells, missiles, armored vehicles from Poland...

      I think this sets the stage before Poland demands payment for the assistance provided. Preparing public and international opinion, at some point they will say: “Now please pay the bill for the tanks and planes sent.” And since Ukraine is bankrupt, Zele will swallow his saliva and hand over Lviv and its environs to Poland. One thing can be said about Poland: it knows how to take care of its own interests. A hyena will always have something for itself. And the United States will look kindly on the nonsense of its “beloved wife.”

      Like a guy with a beard and a T-shirt wassat they wouldn’t have forced him to go to the polls next year... and for this reason they wouldn’t have hinted to him that it’s time to return to KVN/stand-up and write books “How I brought Ukraine to life like this” or “How to promise voters to solve everything in a year and at the same time not be responsible for anything" for a lot of money...
      Moreover, the bearded man promised: “no more than one term” request .

      But if they replace him with a sane politician or at least a military technocrat, there will be a problem.
