Poland may end up “joining” the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine should Kiev fail to protect its “independence,” said Polish Ambassador to France Jan Emeryk Rosciszewski, in March 18 remarks, while speaking live to broadcaster LCI. According to Rosciszewski, the situation now is “either Ukraine will successfully defend its independence, or we will be forced, in any case, to join this conflict.… Otherwise, our principal values, which are the basis of our civilization and our culture, will be in fundamental danger, so we will have no choice.”
