"Poland is becoming increasingly dependent on Washington," Piskorski said. "And this is connected not only with the conflict on the territory of Ukraine and the anti-Russian position of Warsaw. This is also connected with the conflict between Warsaw and Berlin and tough statements by Polish politicians against the German government. So, in fact, the Polish government, on its own initiative, deprives itself of alternatives. This is how Washington monopolizes Polish foreign policy (…) As for Brussels, we can say in this context that Brussels and the European Commission completely ignores, for example, the calls of the Polish authorities regarding the return and introduction of tariffs on Ukrainian grain, which is now becoming an increasingly important problem from the point of view of Polish economic interests. In fact, these requests are simply ignored by Brussels."
I believe that it is dictated by Washington and London. We should not forget that some Polish politicians maintain close ties with the British centers of influence, which are quite active on the territory of Poland. So, unfortunately, yes, most of the Polish political class directly or through various political and business chains depends on external players (…) Poland definitely does not get any benefits [from the escalation in Ukraine]. On the contrary, one can say that Poland itself creates a threat to its security. More precisely, the Polish government poses a threat to the security of the country, and any escalation, of course, is fraught with the risk that these threats will grow. Regional tensions are certainly on the rise. As for calls for escalation, here we can talk about a truly Russophobic ideology as a factor. And, secondly, [Warsaw is] also to some extent guided by the advice of external partners or even political curators.
