Support for Ukraine will continue under Nawrocki, Polish FM says

Politico reported the information.

Sikorski says that despite the government's defeat and the opposition's victory, they can still find common ground.

"President Nawrocki comes from the [Law and Justice Party] side of the Polish political divide and I remind you that the majority of defense contracts that we are now financing were signed under the previous government, so I expect him to be pro-defense," the minister said.

He also added that the elected Polish leader "clearly agrees with the national consensus that Russia has to be deterred."

At the same time, the Polish Foreign Minister believes that Nawrocki can smooth out relations with U.S. President Donald Trump and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

"Now, we can play on two pianos at the same time," Sikorski noted.

The minister also emphasized that if Nawrocki can "can persuade Viktor Orbán that Ukraine should be supported, that these vetoes [on Kyiv's accession to the EU] should be lifted, that Ukraine should be integrated into the West, we would be very pleased and we would support the president-elect in this issuet," then his party will be happy to support the newly elected leader in this regard.
