Ukrainian Ambassador on Nawrocki's declaration. "Unacceptable"

- The decision to prohibit or restrict any rights of Ukraine is unacceptable, because it is a fundamental issue of existence for Ukraine - said on Friday Vasyl Bodnar, the Ukrainian ambassador to Poland. He added that the Polish raison d'état is the integration of Ukraine into NATO, "because it increases Poland's security".

On Friday, on Radio RMF FM, the Ukrainian ambassador was asked about the presidential elections in Poland. According to Wasyl Bodnar , this is solely a matter for Poles, and Kiev will respect any result.

- We will cooperate with any candidate who wins the elections for the good of bilateral relations - said the Ukrainian ambassador to Poland.

Then Piotr Salak asked his interlocutor about the declaration signed on Thursday by the PiS-supported candidate, Karol Nawrocki . The IPN President pledged in it that as the president of Poland he would not accept the act ratifying Ukraine's accession to NATO.

- It seems to me that the Polish raison d'état is the integration of Ukraine into NATO , because it increases Poland's security, because the eastern border would be more secure. The decision to prohibit or limit any rights of Ukraine is unacceptable , because for Ukraine it is a fundamental matter of existence - said the diplomat.

- Today, Ukraine is also fighting with weapons from Europe, including Poland, and I do not understand the demands that undermine Ukraine's right to integrate into NATO - added Bodnar.

According to the Ukrainian ambassador , Ukraine's accession to NATO "is a matter for bilateral talks , for negotiations". - Because politics is politics, and bilateral relations are of course shaped by the interests of states. We have a common interest in security here and I think that after the elections we will have the opportunity to talk directly about how this or that candidate sees a given issue - he said on the radio.

- And how do you see what is happening around Ukrainian affairs in Poland? Do you think that the attitude of Poles towards Ukrainians is changing? - the host wanted to know.

- Of course, there are quite a lot of stereotypes that have no basis, e.g. about doctors or other professional groups. And our task is simply to combat these myths. Another thing is that Ukrainians in Poland are an added value . This is, of course, an added value to the Polish economy - the ambassador summed up.
