Polish Deputy Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski said France and Germany were too close to Russia in the context of the war in Ukraine.
“Germany, like France, has a strong bias in favor of Moscow,” said the leader of Poland’s ruling nationalist-populist PiS party in an interview published Sunday by the German daily Die Welt.
“For years, the German government did not want to see what Russia was doing under (Vladimir) Putin’s leadership and we see the result today,” he criticized.
“Poland is not happy with Germany’s role in Europe,” he added. Jaroslaw Kaczynski criticizes Berlin for having tried “to rebuild what the former Chancellor of the Empire Bismarck had done”, namely “a German domination but side by side with Russia”.
The purchase of oil from Russia pointed out
The Polish Deputy Prime Minister also criticized Germany for not delivering enough arms to Ukraine and refusing an embargo at least on oil imports from Russia.
“It is important to know that Russia derives four to five times more revenue from its oil sales than from gas sales,” he stressed.
“We cannot permanently continue to support a great power like Russia by paying it billions,” he said.
