Polish President Nawrocki:

Poland's interest is for Ukraine and the Ukrainian soldiers to perform as well as possible against the post-Soviet Russian Federation.

The farther they keep the Russians away from Poland, the better. That is obvious. That is the strategy of the Polish state.

Wherever Russia is being fought, Poland helps, even if Poland is not directly participating in the war.

That is Poland's strategic interest.

It is also Poland's strategic interest that Bandera flags do not fly in Warsaw or elsewhere in Poland.

Trump: ‘We just secured the release of three Polish, and two Moldovan, prisoners from Belarusian and Russian detention. Thanks to my Special Presidential Envoy, John Coale, we were able to push hard to make this release happen. My friend, President Karol Nawrocki, of Poland, met with me last September, and asked me to help secure Andrzej Poczobut from Belarusian prison. Today, Poczobut is free due to our efforts. The United States delivers for our Allies, and Friends. Thank you to President Aleksandr Lukashenko for his cooperation and friendship. So nice! President DONALD J. TRUMP’
