According to him, the Polish side cannot retreat and take a soft position.

“We cannot give to others and demand nothing in return, simply because it always ends badly,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

According to Kaczynski, Poland needs to firmly defend its interests and at the same time know what they really are.

“To know, for example, that if we help Ukraine, and no one helps like we do, then we are protecting Polish interests,” the politician stated.

In 2019, Polish President Andrzej Duda, in an interview with Bild, announced his intention to "bill" Germany for the damage that was inflicted on Poland during the Second World War.

In turn, the then German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said that the issue of reparations for military operations was "closed to Germany."
