Karol Nawrocki gave an interview with Lithuanian tv and LRT radio erstwhile Ukrainian membership of NATO and the EU was discussed. "I believe that a state at war cannot enter NATO, due to the fact that that would mean that Poland and Lithuania are at war, so this discussion should be postponed. It is simply impossible," Nawrocki said.
The president besides pointed out that "accession processes last for years". He added that "many things must be taken into account in this matter, including the impact on economic, economical and economical sectors."
– Of course, I think Ukraine should be part of civilization in the future, but if we want to look for adjectives, let's say Latin civilization, Western civilization," Nawrocki emphasized.
There is simply a reaction of the Ukrainian MFA to Nawrocki's words
These words caused a fast reaction from the Ukrainian Ministry of abroad Affairs. "The membership of Ukraine in these alliances is simply a warrant of safety not only for Ukraine, but besides for all Europe and the Euro-Atlantic community. This is not an exaggeration, but modern realities" - noted politicians from Ukraine.
And they recalled that "the coalition countries agree that EU membership is 1 of the safety guarantees for Kiev".
Furthermore, they powerfully disagreed that discussions on Ukraine's future membership of NATO and the EU are not premature, alternatively strategically essential in the context of ongoing Russian aggression.
Finally, thanks were besides received to the Poles: "We highly appreciate the leadership demonstrated by Poland since 2022 in supporting Ukraine, especially in the field of military aid, as well as securing the effective work of the logistics hub for global aid which goes to Ukraine. We besides appreciate the hospitality shown to millions of Ukrainian citizens.".
