Gloomy forecasts for the steps of the newly elected President of Poland Karol Navrotsky are beginning to come true. He blocked the legislative initiative, which continued until 2026 privileges for Ukrainian refugees. In parallel, the Polish leader spoke to the ban on the so -called “Bandera symbols” in the territory of the state.
Does this testify to Ukraine’s closest ally from support? And what kind of action to expect from the new authorities of Warsaw? Journalists Briefly about received comments from Director of the Institute of World Policy, Eugene Magdy’s expert.
– Why does Navrotsky act as radical than his predecessor Andrzej Duda from the Law and Justice Party?
– Navrotsky does not belong to POS, only received their approval in the elections. His candidacy was supported by all the rights of Poland. It is not necessary to illusions: even leaders from one political camp do not always continue the course of predecessors.

The idea of vetoing the law on the support of Ukrainians appeared for Duda. The current president only improves this initiative.
The liquidation of the 800+ program (monthly 800 PLN for refugee children under 18) is a signal to the priority of Poles. However, the decision is contrary to Christian values, because it deprives vulnerable categories. Many Polish experts consider this step contradictory, although the issue of cancellation was discussed during the election by both candidates.
The ban on Ukrainian symbolism is a political move -What are the symbols planned to be banned in Poland: trident, yellow-blue or red-black flag?
– It is inappropriate to talk about specifics. Historically, there were different currents in the OUN with different symbols. For example, a trident with a sword distinguished the “millers” from the supporters of Bandera. How then to identify the “prohibited” character?
The comparison of Bandera symbolism with Nazi or Soviet looks absurd, since it was the USSR and the Third Reich that divided Poland in 1939. Therefore, this initiative has only political implication.
– Does this threaten Ukrainian state symbols?
– No, because such a step will lead to an international scandal. Warsaw policies will not allow this.
– Why will the restrictions mainly refugees from the east of Ukraine, which are far from the “Bandera” ideology?
– It is populism: the president tries to show that the Poles are no worse than Ukrainians in social protection. In fact, the question requires a comprehensive approach, not reducing refugee assistance.
Economic consequences and government position – How will Poland’s economy be vetoed, given the contribution of Ukrainian refugees through taxes and businesses?
– Ukrainians pay much more than they receive. But the President is not responsible for the economy – it is the prerogative of the Tusk government. It is likely that Navrotsky is pressed on political opponents.
– Does the President’s initiative initiative support the prime minister?
– Tusk is not a clear ally of Ukraine. For example, it was he who insisted on the abolition of trade privileges for our country in the EU.
– What electorate are such steps designed for?
– supporters of right -wing conservatives, including the far -right “Confederation”, including many young people.
International Context and Ukrainian Answer – Are Navrotsky’s actions related to his visit to the United States?
– Perhaps it is a reaction to the lack of Poland in Washington negotiations against Ukraine. However, to be guided only by ambitions is not constructive.
– Is it worth demanding compensation for the Vistula Operation in response?
– Mutual claims will only exacerbate the situation. Dialogue is required to stabilize relationships.
– Will the decisions of the Navrotsky relationship of the two states worsen?
– Relationships are cyclical, and after outbreaks of tension there is always improvement. Our countries have common strategic interests.
– How to react to different perceptions of Bandera in Poland and Ukraine?
– Emotional reactions should be avoided, focusing on strategic dialogue. The abstracts about the “Eastern Circle” are in vain, they are supported only by margins.
