‘Is this how they talked to Hitler’ about his meeting with the Polish leader Putin?

Polish President Andrzej Duda has criticized European leaders’ willingness to discuss the war in Ukraine with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, citing the situation during World War II, when Adolf Hitler commanded the advance of Nazi troops across Europe. It’s like World War II.

“[Putin] is responsible for it. He decided to send soldiers there. Commanders at your command. Did anyone speak to Adolf Hitler like that during World War II? Did someone say Adolf Hitler had to save his ass? In an interview with the German newspaper Bild, do we need to proceed in a way that does not humiliate Adolf Hitler?” he asked.

Poland directly cited talks between Putin and French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. “These conversations lead nowhere. What are they getting? They are just legitimizing a person responsible for the crimes committed by the Russian army in Ukraine,” Duda said.

Polish, however. Referring to World War II, he said that Germany was “not at all interested in what happened in Ukraine or Poland”, but would instead be interested in “doing business and making money” with natural gas and oil.

“Maybe the German economy doesn’t believe that the Russian army can celebrate another great victory in Berlin and occupy part of Germany. We know it’s possible in Poland. That’s why there is no business as usual for us. That’s why we from the World and ask Europe to stop doing business with Russia as usual,” he said. Andrzej suspicion.

The Polish president was also asked about Russia’s previous moves, which in his assessment hinted at the Kremlin’s expansionist intentions in its sphere of influence. Duda remembered the invasion of Georgia in 2008 and the 2014 capture of the Crimean peninsula, which was then Ukrainian territory.

“We see a face of Russia that we have not seen for decades, but that we know. This is the face of an imperialist state that wants to take away the freedom of others, and this must be prevented at all costs,” he said. Making Poland a possible point of interest for the Russians in this strategy.
