Speaking to crowds lining the Krakowskie Przedmieście thoroughfare in central Warsaw, Kaczyński said: "Russia has not changed and its postcommunism is as murderous as communism."
"For the first time, we have received a coherent answer [about the causes of the crash ed]," he said, referring to the Russian invasion of Ukraine launched on February 24.
"I am calling the whole of Europe to mobilize support for Ukraine," Poland's conservative leader Jarosław Kaczyński, the twin brother of late President Lech, added.
