In a speech to the Polish parliament, Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine and questioned the Kremlin's territorial ambitions. He highlighted Poland's anxiety over potential Russian aggression and the need for stronger European defense amid uncertainties about US support. Sikorski criticized the perceived complacency of the West, particularly regarding former US President Trump's approach towards Russia. Poland aims for a defense budget of 5% of GDP by 2026, underscoring its commitment to national security in a turbulent geopolitical landscape.
Poland and European allies are trying to bolster their defences amid fears that Russian aggression won't be limited to Ukraine.
Sikorski's speech appeared to implicitly criticise concessions Trump has been willing to make to Russia in a bid to end the war, which is now in its fourth year.
