Unknown facts, behind the scenes of the talks. The greatness and smallness of Polish politics.
What happened in the Presidential Palace, in the Polish services and in the army after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine? Has there ever been true friendship between Andrzej Duda and Volodymyr Zelensky? How did petty conflicts enter the common game after a few months and what resulted from it?
At the beginning of the war, it seemed that Poland had a chance to permanently enter the league of heavyweight countries. However, we have overestimated our role as Ukraine's lawyer. In fact, we had one hundred days, which was a breakthrough for Poland in terms of international reception, and then we started to disappear from the scene. Ukrainians are masters of nodding. They were beckoning us.
Minister If there is corruption, it means that normality is returning to Ukraine. Then someone said: "Ukraine defended itself." Everyone laughed. Even Kaczyński laughed.
Military: During the presidential flight of the Boeing to Rzeszów for Duda's meeting with Biden, the plane started shaking like hell. I asked General Andrzejczak if it was bad. He confirmed. Someone came out of the cockpit from the pilots. He was green and terrified.
Minister Q: I flew with Abramowicz from Rzeszów to Turkey. On the way, Abramovich said he wasn't feeling well.
His eyes stung and his face itched. He was poisoned by something. It was feared that he had been given radioactive materials just like Litvinenko.
Minister Z: Ukrainians spoke very badly about the Germans. Jermak called them collectively "Comrade Plötner". Plötner was a Nazi doctor who conducted medical experiments on Jews, Poles and Soviet prisoners. The Ukrainians hated the Germans, but they decided to treat them utilitarianly.
Diplomat B: Ukrainians started making pilgrimages to Brussels and informing on us. After months of love and kind words, we had to listen to a completely new narrative about ourselves.
Minister Y: After the carnival of friendship, when Żełenski believed that he was Mahatma Gandhi, he no longer needed Andrzej Duda as Gandhi's assistant.
