"Defending the countries of Nato's eastern flank in the event of a potential Russian aggression would cost at least twelve hundred billion euros - twenty-four times more than the Polish defence budget. A free Ukraine, as part of the West, is our chance to render Russian imperialism toothless."
"Despite what its propaganda claims, Russia is by no means winning. Don't fall for it. Russia is not, and never has been, invincible. Ukrainian migrants and refugees resident in Poland added PLN 100bn to Poland's GDP, the equivalent of half of the annual budget of Poland's healthcare system."
"When the whole world demands Moscow to finally stop this senseless war, Putin bets on more terror, attacks, and aggression. At least 23 people were injured in overnight strikes, with 420 drones and 39 missiles used by Russia to target Ukraine in the latest round of attacks."
Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski warned that defending NATO's eastern flank against potential Russian aggression would cost at least 1.2 trillion euros—24 times Poland's defense budget. He argued that supporting a free Ukraine as part of the West is more cost-effective than defending against Russian aggression afterward. Sikorski emphasized that Russia is not winning despite propaganda claims and is not invincible. He highlighted Ukraine's economic contribution to Poland, with Ukrainian migrants and refugees adding 100 billion PLN to Poland's GDP, equivalent to half of Poland's annual healthcare budget. Meanwhile, Russian attacks on Ukraine continue with 420 drones and 39 missiles used in recent strikes, injuring at least 23 people.
