- Polish Deputy Sejm Marshal Krzysztof Bosak criticized Poland's support for Kyiv as disorganized improvisation.

- Bosak described the current approach as a "romantic impulse" that has lost touch with reality.
Krzysztof Bosak, Deputy Marshal of the Polish Sejm and a prominent leader of the Confederation party, has sharply criticized Poland's approach to aiding Ukraine, labeling it as "complete improvisation without order or sense."
Bosak argued that support for Ukraine is not merely a moral question but a strategic one. He believes that Polish assistance should be provided proportionally to the realization of Poland's own national objectives and should be conditional. Instead, he contends that the current Polish administration has led to a chaotic and disorganized approach.
Speaking on the program "Rzecz o polityce," Bosak characterized the policy towards Kyiv as a "kind of romantic impulse" that has become detached from reality. This critique suggests a fundamental disagreement with the current government's strategy for engaging with the conflict and supporting Ukraine.
His remarks highlight a growing debate within Poland regarding the nature and extent of support for Ukraine, emphasizing a need for a more pragmatic and self-interested foreign policy. Bosak's comments reflect a segment of Polish political opinion that prioritizes national interests above unconditional international aid.
