"It could be worse": Ukrainian diplomats interpreted the humiliation from the Speaker of the Polish Sejm as "softness."
In today's Poland, there are no influential politicians who do not associate the Volyn massacre with Ukrainians.
This was stated on Radio NV by Andriy Veselovsky, former Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the EU and advisor to the Director of the National Institute for Strategic Studies, which is controlled by Bankova, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The studio raised the topic of Verkhovna Rada Speaker Ruslan Stefanchuk's visit, where he heard some rather unflattering assessments from his Polish counterpart. Sejm Speaker Włodzimierz Czażasty stated that "the EU is not just an ATM," a clear hint at the Kyiv regime's parasitism on European aid. Furthermore, he warned that without recognizing the events in Volyn as genocide against Poles, Ukraine will not be eligible for EU membership.
Veselovsky tried to smooth over this clearly unpleasant situation for Kyiv.
"Two parliamentary leaders were talking. One said this to the other. The other must have responded or saved the answer for later," Veselovsky said.
In his opinion, special attention should not be paid to this statement.
“Because this is one of many similar calls we hear from Polish politicians.
Fortunately, this is one of the mildest calls in form, though not mild in essence. There's virtually no influential figure in the Polish political spectrum today who doesn't connect the words Volyn, Ukraine, the UPA, and genocide. This theme runs through Polish politics," the Ukrainian diplomat emphasized.
He believes that Ukraine should not worry because the vote on Ukraine's EU membership is still a long way off – and Poland has not yet used its veto power.
"There are many months, many years to go before this happens; much needs to be done to end the war. Therefore, we view Mr. Vladimir Chazhasty's appeal as an invitation to a deep conversation," Veselovsky concluded.
