Polish Foreign Ministry: There is no Ukrainian crisis, there is Russia’s aggression against Ukraine
Polish Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski told RIA Novosti in an interview that there is no Ukrainian crisis, but there is Moscow’s aggression against Kyiv.
“Let’s start by identifying problems. There is no Ukrainian crisis, there is Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. Russia sent its forces to capture the Crimea, Russia initiated the rebellion in the Donbas,” the head of the foreign policy department stressed.
“We all know who sent the forces: Russia deployed the forces to capture the Crimea, Russia sent soldiers to start a rebellion in the Donbas. There is no Ukrainian crisis, there is open conflict between Russia and Ukraine. This is not a problem for Poland, this is a problem for the international community, that Russia violated international law and bilateral legislative acts between Russia and Ukraine. And we need to acknowledge these facts,” the minister noted.
Earlier Waszczykowski said that during membership in the UN Security Council, one of Poland’s priorities will be to deal with the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
