Nawrocki made the comment in the Czech capital Prague when asked whether he hoped to use what he described as his close ties with Trump and his administration to influence the final version of a proposed US peace plan for Ukraine.
He said the war in Ukraine "has always been among the key topics" discussed in his meetings with Trump and others following Russia’s full-scale invasion.
"My position on this issue has not changed, and there is no doubt that the Russian Federation is the aggressor," Nawrocki said.
He added that Europe's goal—including Poland's—is to secure a lasting peace, not a temporary deal that would allow Russia time to rebuild and launch another war.
"I see the Russian Federation as a state that does not honor agreements, and therefore it poses a threat to any potential peace that might be signed," he said.
"In my view, the only person in the world who is ready to force the Russian Federation to make peace is the president of the United States, Donald Trump," he added.
Nawrocki spoke at a joint news conference with Czech President Petr Pavel, where both leaders were asked about a 28-point US peace proposal for Ukraine.
Pavel noted that early reactions to the plan "were not entirely positive," Polish state news agency PAP reported, but he welcomed high-level talks held in Geneva attended by European officials.
"I am very glad that Europe is on board," Pavel said, as quoted by the PAP news agency.
"It would be very complicated to consider achieving peace in Ukraine—ending a war that existentially concerns Europe's security—without Europe or at least its main states representing European interests," he added.
Pavel said any final peace plan must be "realistic in relation to the situation on the battlefield" and respect international norms and principles.
"The victim of this aggression must not end up worse off than the perpetrator," he cautioned.
The two presidents were also asked about a potential joint visit to Kyiv for a meeting with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky.
Pavel said the topic had not been discussed but that he "would not be opposed" if such a trip were planned.
Nawrocki said: "I am waiting for President Zelensky in Warsaw, and I hope he accepts my invitation."
Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, starting the largest armed conflict in Europe since World War II.
Monday is the 1,370th day of the war.
