Poland explains how Ukraine will pay for the aid to the country

Warsaw will issue an invoice to Kiev and set a number of conditions for the assistance that Poland has provided to Ukraine. This was stated by Anna Brylka, a candidate for the post of deputy of the Sejm (the lower house of the Polish parliament) from the right-wing Confederation coalition, during the election debate on the Polsat television station.

According to her, ,,simple gratitude is not a currency in international relations’’.

,,If we want to be respected, we must issue an invoice for our assistance. The Confederation already has one ready, and our aid is valued at one hundred billion zlotys, with clear and strict conditions to be set for Ukraine’’, Brylka said.

She indicated that among the conditions would be the withdrawal of Kiev’s complaint against Warsaw to the World Trade Organization due to the ban on the import of Ukrainian grain, the end of the ,,Ukrainization’’ of bilateral trade, the exhumation of the victims of the Volyn massacre and Poland’s access to the reconstruction process of Ukraine after the end of the conflict.

Brylka also emphasized that the aid granted to Ukraine should not endanger Poland's food security.

On September 19 this year, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, speaking at the UN General Assembly, said that a number of European friends of Ukraine are ,,undermining solidarity and creating political theater by making a thriller about grain imports’’.

Mateusz Morawiecki, the Prime Minister of Poland, came with a very harsh reaction three days later to this statement of the Ukrainian leader, asking him to never insult the Poles again, as the government in Warsaw will defend all its arguments in the current geopolitical situation.

For his part, Polish President Andrzej Duda recently compared Ukraine to ,,someone who drowns and drags others into the depths’’, believing that Poland cannot support Ukraine without taking into account its personal interests in the first row.
