Poland's President: Only Trump Can Stop Putin

In a recent interview with BBC Radio 4, Polish President Karol Nawrocki stated that Donald Trump is the only leader capable of stopping Vladimir Putin from threatening Europe. Nawrocki, a known supporter of Trump, emphasized the need for European nations to back the US president's efforts to resolve the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Nawrocki described the threats posed by Russia as a crisis for central and eastern Europe, underscoring that with rising tensions, Trump is crucial to 'solve this problem.' He reflected on a significant incident last September when over 20 Russian drones entered Polish airspace, calling it an unprecedented attack for a NATO member state.

The Polish president praised the UK's contribution to Poland's defense, particularly the deployment of RAF Typhoon jets, and stated that Poland has been engaged in a 'hybrid war' with Russia since 2021, dealing with drones and disinformation campaigns.

Nawrocki expressed concerns over European leaders focusing on less urgent issues, arguing that Poland, in contrast, is investing heavily in its defense, allocating close to 5% of its GDP. He anticipates strong relations with the UK, noting the significant Polish community there and the importance of British soldiers stationed in Poland for NATO's security in the region.
