Poland’s Foreign Minister has described the presence of Western soldiers in Ukraine as an open secret: “As your Chancellor said, there are already some troops from major countries in Ukraine,” Radoslaw Sikorski said in an interview with the German Press Agency. “In Polish we have the term Tajemenica Polizynela, which describes a secret that everyone knows.”
He reiterated that Poland would not send ground troops to Ukraine, citing historical reasons for this. “Ukraine and Poland were one and the same country for 400 years. And that would provide the Russians with too easy propaganda fodder. So we should be the last to do that.”
Support for Macron
However, Sikorski welcomed French President Emmanuel Macron’s approach of not taking off the option of sending ground troops to the war zone. Russian President Vladimir Putin first annexed Crimea, then started a war in the Donbass in eastern Ukraine and finally invaded Ukraine.
“Let Putin worry about what we’re going to do.”
“I can understand President Macron’s strategic or in this case tactical logic to reverse the narrative. Let Putin worry about what we are going to do.” German Chancellor Olaf Scholz had categorically ruled out sending ground troops.
At the end of February, Scholz justified his rejection of the delivery of Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine, saying, among other things, that Germany would not participate in attacking soldiers – neither from Germany nor on the ground. He added: “What the British and French are doing in terms of targeting and guiding targeting cannot be done in Germany.”
