The Polish prime minister has said that Europe should “abandon the illusion” that it can live in peace “under the shadow of Russian imperialism”, writes The First News
The head of the government told reporters, on Tuesday, that the economy was the most effective weapon which could be used against Russia.
“Europeans and the European Council are becoming more aware of the fact that peace cannot exist without a free Ukraine and that ‘peace at all costs is not a solution that satisfies the European Union,” he said. “Russia wants to carry out a long-term war and, at the same time, cause a worldwide famine.”
“We must abandon the illusion that Europeans will live in peace under the shadow of Russian imperialism,” he added.
“Although discussions are being held against the backdrop of a terrible war, there is, however, the reason for cautious optimism that not only will the unity of Europe be maintained, but also the awareness of how terribly vile, brutal and inhuman is the regime of Moscow and that it is piercing… the hearts of the citizens of Western Europe,” continued Morawiecki.
The prime minister said that this realisation was very important and something that could “change the course of the war.”
