Polish Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kośniak Kamisz today firmly denied claims by US President's envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg that one of the options for peace in Ukraine is the deployment of European forces in Ukraine, which Poland would also send.
"The position is clear. Poland does not plan and will not send soldiers to Ukraine. From the beginning, we have been pointing out our role as the center for logistics and infrastructure of this mission. Without us, it is impossible to implement it. Poland's allies from the 'coalition of the willing' understand very well the role that Poland plays," the Polish Minister of Defense said today.
Košnjak-Kamiš rejected the theory that the US is using such public talk to pressure Poland to send soldiers.
"Neither I nor Foreign Minister Radoslav Šikorski have received any suggestions on this topic," said Košnjak-Kamiš, according to Polish television Polsat.
Speaking to the American television network Fox News these days, US President Donald Trump's envoy for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, said that the US plan for negotiations to end the war in Ukraine envisages sending troops in addition to a ceasefire.
"We are talking about troops that are now called E3, but in fact they are E4. We are talking about the British, the French and the Germans, and in principle also the Poles who would deploy forces west of the Dnieper, so further from the line of contact," Kellogg said.
On the X network, the Polish minister briefly stated that there are no plans for Poland to send soldiers to the peacekeeping force in Ukraine.
"Poland has a responsibility for the defense of NATO's eastern flank and for logistical support to its attacked neighbor," Košnjak-Kamiš wrote.
