"Getting used to war is the greatest victory of the empire of evil from the East." At Westerplatte in Gdańsk, during the ceremony marking the 86th anniversary of the outbreak of World War II, Polish Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz called on the world to remember the lessons of history and resist Russian aggression, PAP reports.
Poland: Support for Ukraine is a matter of national security
Kosiniak-Kamysz reminded that Poles cannot ignore the war against Ukraine.
“People and children are dying there. Bombs are falling on nurseries, kindergartens, and hospitals,” said the minister.
According to him, beyond civilizational, humanitarian, and Christian reasons to support Ukraine, there is another — the security of Poland itself.
Historical experience and national duty
The minister recalled that throughout history, Poles have often paid a high price for freedom.
“Supporting Ukrainian soldiers is the Polish reason for existence, Poland’s national interest, and Poland’s security,” he declared.
Kosiniak-Kamysz acknowledged that sensitivity tends to fade over time, but the state duty cannot be destroyed by fatigue or despair. He stressed that this is also a debt to the memory of the Polish soldiers who defended Westerplatte.
