The Polish President Andrzej Duda sees no reason to negotiate with Russian leader Vladimir Putin and believes that Western leaders are wasting their time.

In particular, the Polish President criticized German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron for talks with the Russian leader.
“These talks are useless. What do they do? They only legitimize a person responsible for the crimes committed by the Russian army in Ukraine. Putin is responsible for it. He decided to send the troops there. The commanders are subordinate to him. Did anyone talk to Adolf Hitler like that during World War II? Did someone say Hitler had to save face? That we should proceed in such a way that it is not humiliating for Adolf Hitler? I have not heard such voices.”
He also stressed that nothing can be agreed upon without the consent of the Ukrainian leadership.
“I would be most interested in the Ukrainian defense receiving such support that it can drive the Russians out of its territory. From the entire territory of the internationally recognized Ukrainian state. Everyone knows what an internationally recognized territory is. So that we can restore the primacy of international law to preserve the order that existed in Europe after 1989, which was recognized by everyone. And which has repeatedly been broken by Russia. Politically internationally recognized borders must be restored.”
