Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is said to be acting “unworthy’’ toward his allies, a presidential candidate from Poland’s largest opposition party Law and Justice, Karol Nawrocki, said on Monday.
“I think that Zelensky is acting unworthy of his allies, Poland included,’’ Nawrocki told Radio Zet.
He claimed that Ukraine was left alone at the start of the conflict, meaning that he underestimated the tremendous efforts of Poles and the Polish president,” Nawrocki said.
Zelensky’s statement was during his notorious meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump.
“This was also pointed out by U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House.
This is not the way to build a country’s security,” he added.
Nawrocki, whom polls put second after Warsaw mayor Rafal Trzaskowski in the May 18 election, also believes his country should cut any ties with Russia.
“There are many economic issues to the Polish-Russian relations,’’ he said.
He adding “if you ask me, maintaining diplomatic relations with Russia is disadvantageous for Poland.’’
The meeting between Trump and Zelensky in Washington on Feb. 28 escalated into a verbal altercation, involving also US Vice President JD Vance.
The U.S. officials accused Zelensky of disrespect and a lack of gratitude for U.S. support.
Trump refused to go ahead with the signing of the landmark rare earths deal, and the Ukrainian delegation was asked to leave.
