In an interview with Polsat News, Minister Sikorski highlighted that recent drone attacks on Poland could represent a new form of hybrid warfare.

Poland’s top diplomat also drew attention to the fact that during his Saturday visit to Ukraine, where he met with President Zelensky, the possibility of NATO intercepting Russian aerial attack assets over Ukraine that could threaten Poland was discussed. Sikorski emphasized that any action in this regard would require a collective allied decision.

Constitutional breach over reparations following President Nawrocki’s Berlin visit

Poland’s top diplomat also addressed the topic of German reparations for World War II, criticizing President Nawrocki for discussing the matter in Berlin without consulting the government, which Sikorski said violated the constitution.

“We try to support the president, explaining the complexities of foreign policy. The president announced - without consulting the government, which is a breach of the constitution - what he would discuss in Berlin. I warned him he risked failure. Unfortunately, I was proven right,” Sikorski said.
