Different opinions in politics
In May, president Karol Nawrocki openly opposed Ukraine's accession to NATO during a visit to Toruń with Sławomir Mentzen from the Confederation. In a conversation in Mentzen's podcast he stressed that Ukraine does not meet many of the European Union's requirements, noting, among others, the advanced level of corruption.
The Polish Prime Minister, Donald Tusk, is of a different opinion. – Putin's first and most crucial request for Ukraine and the West is to ban Ukraine's accession to NATO. Nawrocki just signed up to this postulate. The next will be the surrender and division of Ukraine. He'll sign too. Deadly dangerous for Poland – so the Prime Minister commented on Nawrocki's declaration.
Ukraine does not give up
The possible of Ukraine's membership of NATO now seems very distant. In February U.S. Secretary of defence Pete Hegseth stated that The United States does not believe that Ukraine's membership of NATO may be the consequence of a negotiated agreement. Yet Ukraine has consistently stressed that its long-term abroad policy objectives include joining both NATO and the European Union.
