“It is definitely in Poland’s interests for Russia to come out of this war weakened in a lasting way, both militarily and economically,” Marcin Przydacz said in an interview with the Polska Times.pl website.

He added: “We must ensure that Moscow is unable to cause another conflict like the one we’re seeing in Ukraine, for at least a generation.”

Przydacz told Polska Times.pl that “such is the aim of the policy of sanctions” pursued by the European Union, the United States and Britain.

“Poland believes that Russia should be subjected to sanctions until it renounces its aggressive actions and its revisionist foreign policy,” Przydacz stated.

⚡️UK calls for additional sanctions on Russia.

U.K. Foreign Secretary Liz Truss called for further sanctions against Russia until it fully withdraws from Ukraine and agrees to peace, according to a U.K. statement after a meeting of G7 Foreign Ministers on May 12, CNN reports.
