Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Tuesday that conflict in Ukraine is an existential threat to peace in Europe.
Poland is ready to introduce an immediate embargo on Russian coal imports, he added, and all they need is the green light from Brussels.
Morawiecki proposed that the EU should offer Ukraine a EUR 100B reconstruction plan. Mateusz Morawiecki, the Polish prime minister, has told a French daily that Vladimir Putin has declared war not only on Ukraine but on the entire West, and called for more arms in Europe.
Morawiecki called, in an article published by ‘Le Figaro’, for cutting off Russia from cyber as well as financial tools.
“Putin’s bestial attack on Ukraine has left no room for illusions,” Morawiecki wrote, adding that the transAtlantic architecture of security could be destroyed by Russian tanks.
“It is Ukraine which is burning today. But it could be our homes tomorrow,” the Polish prime minister said, adding that both Europe and the entire world had not responded properly to Russia’s aggression in 2008 and 2014, as well as to the murders of Litvinenko in 2006 or a chemical attack on Sergei Skripal in 2018.
“Tough sanctions imposed on the heart of the Russian economic and energy system are the only way out,” Morawiecki wrote.
The Polish prime minister also said that Europe should immediately speed up armament and strengthen Nato’s eastern flank as “our deterrence potential is not sufficient enough at the moment.”
According to Morawiecki, Russia should be also deprived of sources of armament financing while Europe should become independent of raw materials imported from Russia. He also said that Russian financial institutions and Russian oligarchs should be deprived of all privileges.
