The statement by Poland's most powerful man could have a major impact on Polish rhetoric in the coming months.

Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the head of Poland's ruling conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party, has indicated that the war in Ukraine is likely to end with a compromise rather than a total victory for one of the parties. At the same time, the Polish politician warned at a defense conference that this would entail new risks and dangers for Europe's future security. Kaczynski reiterated Poland's unwavering support for Ukraine and President Zelensky's demand to liberate all Ukrainian territory, but warned that not everything depends on them, V4na.com reported .

"There are indications that the war may end with a certain compromise rather than a final solution"

- said the leader of the ruling party, who says that this is why Poland must prepare for future challenges and dangers, and why it is so important to expand Poland's military capacity.

Acknowledging a possible outcome that does not lead to a final Ukrainian victory marks a change in Polish rhetoric, as the country's leaders have previously been steadfast in their insistence that the war can only end if the Russians withdraw from all occupied territory, including Crimea. Roughly a week ago, an article was published in the American magazine Foreign Affairs, written jointly by Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki with his Slovak and Czech colleagues, in which he demanded complete Russian surrender .

However, Jaroslaw Kaczynski's more moderate statement may give an opportunity for those voices to assert themselves, according to which an immediate ceasefire and peace negotiations can only end the killing in Ukraine. This position has been voiced by neutral Hungary and Austria for a long time.

Among the most important tasks to be implemented, the leader of PiS singled out the construction of strong air and missile defense and the increase in the number of soldiers. He reminded that the goal is to create an army of 300,000 people, which is twice the current number of the Polish army.

The Poles continue to pull the lion's mustache

Poland seized the building of the Russian high school in Warsaw, and it will now be the property of the Warsaw city government, the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Saturday. Russia immediately protested the move and promised to issue a formal diplomatic protest. Ministry spokesperson Jasina Lukasz emphasized that the seizure is the implementation of a court decision made at the request of the Warsaw mayor's office. Because

according to the court, the property is the property of the Polish state, Russia illegally possessed it

he added.

The Russian ambassador warned that Russia will respond to the Polish decision based on the "principle of reciprocity". "The school will continue its activities in other buildings of the Russian diplomatic mission," he said, adding: "we will ensure that the children finish the school year in order."

Andreyev reported this week that Polish prosecutors had seized a large amount of money from the frozen bank accounts of the Russian embassy in Warsaw.

And a year ago, the Warsaw mayor's office won the seizure of a former Russian diplomatic building through the courts. Previously, the people of Warsaw only referred to the building as a "Russian spy farm".
