Knyazhytsky Warns of Threat from Poland’s Far-Right: Who Benefits?.

Concerns Over the Growing Influence of Far-Right Groups in Poland

According to Espreso.tv: In a recent interview, Ukrainian lawmaker Mykola Knyazhytsky sounded the alarm about far-right political forces in Poland and their potential to fuel anti-Ukrainian rhetoric ahead of the country’s parliamentary elections. He warned that escalating tensions between Kyiv and Warsaw could seriously damage bilateral relations—and ultimately serve Russia’s interests. According to Knyazhytsky, Moscow is combining military aggression with information warfare, a strategy that could lead to provocations during the Polish election campaign.

The Ukrainian MP pointed out that far-right politicians may push for reduced military aid to Ukraine, which could erode public support for Ukrainian causes within Polish society.

'Escalating disputes between Kyiv and Warsaw primarily benefits Russia,' Knyazhytsky emphasized.

He explained that the goal of such moves is not to conquer these countries, but to weaken their societies' backing for Ukraine.

The Critical Need for Ukraine-Poland Cooperation

Knyazhytsky also stressed the importance of maintaining close collaboration between Ukraine and Poland’s government, democratic political forces, and civil society. He noted that Poles were among the first to offer assistance to Ukrainians after the full-scale invasion began, underscoring the value of this partnership.

Key areas of Ukraine-Poland cooperation include:

• defense partnership,
• Poland’s involvement in Ukraine’s reconstruction,
• support for Ukraine’s European integration,
• development of economic ties,
• finding compromises on sensitive issues.

In the face of today’s challenges, preserving and strengthening these links is essential for ensuring regional stability and security.

Knyazhytsky’s remarks highlight the need for constructive dialogue between Ukraine and Poland amid rising political tensions. Both nations must maintain their partnership despite internal political pressures that could disrupt cooperation. Given their shared history and common interests, it is vital that Ukrainian and Polish leaders work to solidify their relationship—especially to counter external threats, particularly from Russia.
