The Polish television channel TVN24 reports the words of Ewa Kopacz: “I call on the president to finally assemble the National Security Council. The latest reports from Donbass are very alarming.”

Prime Minister Kopacz is also demanding the convening of the National Security Council because President Duda is going to promote on Friday in Berlin the expansion of the participants in the peace negotiations in Donbass to include Poland, the United States, as well as Ukraine’s neighboring countries as parties. Polish politicians believe that such a format could put Poland in the official state of a participant in the conflict. Eva Kopacz is also alarmed by such intentions of the Polish president due to the fact that Petro Poroshenko has already unequivocally and even harshly refused to let Duda attend Merkel in expanding the Normandy format of negotiations this Monday.

On Sunday evening, while talking to reporters, Andrzej Duda said that during his visit to Berlin next Friday he wants to talk with Merkel about changing the format of negotiations on Ukraine. The very next day, at a press conference with Merkel in Berlin, Petro Poroshenko sharply refused to expand the format. After this, even Polish Foreign Minister Schetyna, known for his controversial and undiplomatic statements, called Duda’s statement “unfortunate and inconvenient.”
