'I do fear that there will be more cracks and the divides will be even deeper,' Polish Ambassador to the U.S. Marek Magierowski told Newsweek.
are reasonable enough to understand that Ukraine still needs our financial and military support, because they are fighting not only for their freedom, they are fighting for all of us.
We would love for Germany and France and other countries to spend more money on the military, but we do believe also that America's role in Europe is absolutely substantial in terms of our collective security. We have always stressed, and it's one of our priorities, to have more U.S. troops on Polish soil and also in other countries on the eastern flank. American presence in Europe will still be the most important guarantee of our security in NATO and the European Union.
This is one of the reasons it's so difficult to hammer out a common position of all EU member states. The EU's common foreign policy still remains a pipe dream, in spite of the fact that some countries would prefer this common foreign policy to be more robust, also in the relationship with China. What China prefers and what China counts on is economic stability, especially along the Belt and Road. This is something that they have always been adamant about, that no matter what their view is of Taiwan's independence, regardless of long-term interests in China's relationship with Europe and the United States, economic stability is of critical importance to them.
A potential conventional confrontation between Russia and NATO, which I believe will never materialize and I hope it will never materialize, will be absolutely disastrous for Russia, and not for NATO, not for the West. But, of course, we have to be prepared for any eventuality. But you can now imagine, if we had not joined NATO, we would have been probably in a very similar situation as Ukraine is now.
And this is also something that the Polish government has expressed on numerous occasions. We do believe that Ukrainians have to decide for themselves how this war ends, whether this war ends on Russian terms, and we have always been very adamant and very concrete in terms of our view of, for example, what territory Ukraine should recover, the territory they have lost since 2014 and then after the invasion this February.
