"Perhaps the triumph of Karol Nawrocki can even aid in relations with the US and Hungary," says Minister of abroad Affairs Radosław Sikorski. "Electoral triumph of nationalists will not destruct the fight against Russia," he adds.

Radosław Sikorski interviewed the Politico portal. According to the head of the MFA, "a populist in a advanced position" could aid smooth out the relation with US president Donald Trump. I'm talking about, of course, President-Elect Charles Nawrocki.

"Now we can play 2 pianos simultaneously"

"The presidency remains in the hands of the opposition," says Politico Sikorski. In his opinion, the fresh president will be able to find common ground on key geopolitical issues.

"President Nawrocki comes from the Law and Justice side and I remind you that most of the defence contracts we are presently financing have been signed for the erstwhile government, so I anticipate he will be pro-defensive," said Sikorski about Nawrock. "He clearly agrees with the national consensus that Russia should be deterred," he added.

According to Sikorski, "a populist in a advanced position" could even aid ease relations with U.S. president Donald Trump and Hungarian-friendly Kremlin Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

"They say they have a better relation with the White House. Indeed, president Nawrocki has a photograph with Trump," Sikorski said. Politico adds that Nawrocki, "a political novice who assured himself the support of the erstwhile ruling organization of Law and Justice," was besides supported by high-ranking Trump administration officials.

Sikorski added that if Nawrocki "can convince Viktor Orbán that Ukraine should be supported, that these vetoes [concerning Kiev's accession to the EU] should be abolished, that Ukraine should be integrated into the West, we will be very pleased and will support the President-elect on this matter".
