The President's Palace and the government are taking work for the absence of a typical of Poland at today's summit in Washington. Deputy Head of the Ministry of abroad Affairs stated that "Poland is simply a medium-sized country" – not specified as Germany or the United Kingdom – hence we could not attend the gathering of leaders. Radosław Sikorski blamed Nawrocki, claiming that his surroundings had “privileged relations” with Trump, so he should usage them “for Poland”. Nawrocki, in turn, talks about the "format of the willing coalition" that Donald Tusk should represent. He besides stresses that he will meet with the president of the United States personally on September 3.

The Palace and the Government are taking work for the deficiency of a typical of Poland at the Washington summit
There will be no Polish typical – neither Prime Minister Donald Tusk nor president Karol Nawrocki will fly to Washington. The absence of a typical of our country during – presumably – key talks on peace in Ukraine is controversial. Who's responsible? Government or Presidential Palace? Or are we just a “medium country”?
"Poland is simply a medium-sized country. There is no global translation like Germany or Britain. On the another hand, the president of Finland made friends with Trump”
– explained Deputy Head of the Ministry of abroad Affairs Władysław Teofil Bartoszewski in Polsat News program “Graffiti”.
He stressed that “the president (Donald – ed.) Trump is invited to Washington. As you can see, he did not invitation president Nawrocki...’.
In a akin tone, the abroad minister Radosław Sikorski referred to the case, in which the president's environment should usage "privileged relations".
"I inform you that the president of the United States invites to meetings at the White House, with which Polish representatives of the MAGA movement and personally president Karol Nawrocki have privileged relations. delight usage them for Poland and Europe”
– wrote the head of the MFA on X.
What would Charles Nawrocki say? The president stated that today's gathering in Washington is held in the format of a "voluntary coalition", so it is Donald Tusk who should appear in the U.S. capital at the invitation of Volodymyr Zelenski.
"Today we meet a format of coalition of volunteers, in which Poland has been representing the government for a long time. It was president Zelenski who invited those to be in Washington. And the president of Poland is the only leader to have a gathering with president Trump on September 3, where safety and peace issues in Ukraine will be 1 of the very crucial points.”
– explained president Karol Nawrocki.
