Poland’s ambassador to France has cautioned there may be a scenario where Poland would need to enter the war in Ukraine which would bring Russian forces into direct conflict with NATO. In an interview for the French TV channel LCI, Jan Emeryk Rościszewski asserted that Kyiv must continue to defend Ukraine’s independence or else other countries such as Poland and Slovakia may have to intervene. Mr Rościszewski said: “It is not NATO, Poland or Slovakia that are mounting ever more pressure, but Russia, which has invaded Ukraine. Russia, which is seizing its territories. Russia, which is killing its people. And Russia, which is abducting Ukrainian children.

Therefore, either Ukraine will defend its independence today, or we will have to enter this conflict. Because our main values, which were the basis of our civilization and our culture will be threatened. Therefore, we will have no choice but to enter the conflict.”

Polish Embassy in France seeks to clarify Rościszewski comments

Poland’s Embassy in France issued a statement following earlier comments by Ambassador Jan Emeryk Rościszewski, stressing that the remarks regarding possible Polish involvement in Ukraine have been interpreted by some media “out of context”.Poland’s Embassy in France said in a statement: During a thirty-minute conversation with the editor, Ambassador Rościszewski argued for the need for allies to support Ukraine. He also spoke about the threat that Russia poses to Europe and European values […]

A careful listening to the entire conversation makes it clear that there was no announcement of Poland’s direct involvement in the conflict, only a warning of the consequences that a Ukrainian defeat could have: the possibility of a Russian attack, or the involvement of more Central European countries – the Baltic States and Poland.”
