Poland Claims It Is Being Marginalised in European Politics After Ukraine‑Germany Moves

Polish commentator Stanisław Michalkiewicz argues that a coordinated provocation by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the German government has aimed to sideline Poland in European decision‑making. He cites the naming of a Ukrainian unit after the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, Poland’s refusal to return an order to Zelensky, and Poland’s exclusion from a London conference attended by the UK, France and Germany. Michalkiewicz quotes the phrase “Polska wymiksowana i ośmieszona” (Poland mixed and humiliated) to describe the situation, adding that Zelensky’s absence from a Gdańsk economic conference further underscored Poland’s marginalisation.

A second article critiques the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party’s media outlets for inflating an alleged poisoning of PiS candidate Karol Nawrocki into a political spectacle, describing it as propaganda lacking evidence. Both pieces portray the events as part of a broader political narrative that pits Poland against its Western allies.
