Law and Justice (PiS) leader Jaros\u0142aw Kaczy\u0144ski has pledged to address comments made by his party’s prime ministerial candidate, Przemys\u0142aw Czarnek, regarding the cessation of military aid to Ukraine.<\/p>\n
Law and Justice leader Jaros\u0142aw Kaczy\u0144ski declared on Tuesday via social media that the party leadership will address the controversial statements made by Przemys\u0142aw Czarnek. Kaczy\u0144ski emphasized that PiS remains committed to the necessity of military aid for Ukraine, framing it as a critical component of Poland’s national interest and security.<\/p>\n
On Monday, Przemys\u0142aw Czarnek suggested in an interview with TV Republika that Poland should leverage its position within the EU and NATO to pressure Ukraine into changing its policy toward Poland. He advocated for blocking EU funding for Ukrainian arms and reconstruction until Ukraine adopts different social values.<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Donald Tusk criticized the remarks, stating that Russia could not have imagined a better candidate for prime minister than Czarnek. Other politicians, including S\u0142awomir Mentzen and Adam Sz\u0142apka, mocked Czarnek\u2019s lack of autonomy, with Mentzen labeling him incapable of independent decision-making.<\/p>\n
Members of the Civic Coalition, including Roman Giertych and Agnieszka Pomaska, condemned the rhetoric as offensive and reminiscent of Russian propaganda. MEP Dariusz Jo\u0144ski described the situation as a failed radicalization attempt by PiS, labeling those involved as “Putin\u2019s useful idiots.”<\/p>\n
Ukrainian Ambassador to Poland Vasyl Bodnar officially responded to the controversy by expressing his gratitude to the PiS leader for his continued support of Ukraine.<\/p>\n
