President Volodymyr Zelensky said that if Ukraine does not become a member of the European Union and NATO, the risk increases that the Russian army will end up on the border with Poland. In this case, the Poles, in particular presidential candidate Karol Nawrocki, will have to defend their country.

Zelensky said this in an interview with Polish media, responding to a statement by presidential candidate from the opposition Law and Justice party Karol Nawrocki. Recently, a Polish politician said that he “does not see Ukraine in any structure – neither in the European Union, nor in NATO – until civilizational issues that are important for the Poles are resolved.”. He added that Ukraine cannot be part of international alliances until it resolves the issue of the Volyn tragedy.

Zelensky stressed that Ukraine’s membership in the EU and NATO is critical for the security of not only Ukraine, but also neighboring countries, in particular Poland.

“If Ukraine is not in these unions, this means that it will be left alone with the Russian Federation,” the President of Ukraine noted.

He added that if Ukraine is absent from international unions, Poland itself will face a serious threat.

Zelensky addressed Navrotsky with a warning:.

“If Poland doesn’t see us in these alliances, then Mr. Nawrocki already needs to go train. It may happen that he will have to take up arms to defend his country along with his compatriots.

"

The head of state emphasized that the absence of Ukraine from the EU and NATO increases the risk of Russian aggression, which could directly threaten Poland.

“Russia may end up on the border with Poland, and then Navrotsky will not have political competition - he will fight for his life,” Zelensky noted.
