On the eve of the elections, Polish opposition leader Donald Tusk called for increased military aid to Ukraine

The leader of the opposition Civic Coalition party, Donald Tusk, said that Poland must steadfastly support Ukraine in the war against Russia.

“It is certainly in Poland’s national interests that Ukraine win. This will affect both economic issues and the refugee problem. The Polish state should not budge one iota on this issue; Ukraine’s military support should not be questioned,” Tusk said.

Earlier, Tusk’s political opponent, the current Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, questioned further arms supplies to Ukraine. Subsequently, the Polish government corrected his statement and emphasized that at least all agreements concluded between the countries will remain in force.

Parliamentary elections will be held in Poland on October 15. According to analysts, the voting results could lead to a change of government and deprive the Law and Justice party of leadership.
