President Duda: Putin and Lukashenko are attacking Poland’s eastern borders
President Andrej Duda also participated in the discussion and participated in the inaugural meeting. He spoke of the armed conflict beyond Poland’s eastern border. – I want to make it clear: Moscow is solely responsible for the war. However, the Polish president said this does not mean Russia is acting alone.
He added that Putin’s aggression would not have been possible without the support of Belarus. – Here I am referring to the shameful role of Alexander Lukashenko, Putin’s puppet in Belarus, in persecuting his own people in this war. “I want to remind everyone that he not only allowed the Russian army to attack Ukraine from the territory of Belarus, but also launched a series of hybrid attacks on the Baltic states and the eastern borders of Poland,” Duda said.
