The Polish Consul General noted that she could no longer remain silent and pretend that she did not see the actions "that disgrace Poland on the Polish-Ukrainian border.
I cannot pretend that I do not see these shameful actions of Poland on the Polish-Ukrainian border. I apologize to you, dear Ukrainian friends. What is happening cannot be the work of my compatriots
She compared the current situation with the blockade of the border of a warring country to the events of World War II. Back then, the Russians refused to allow Allied planes with aid for Warsaw to land.
What are "Polish" farmers and transport workers doing today? I do not believe that they are Poles... A true Pole would never stab a neighbor who is fighting for freedom. It's not about the demands, it's about the form of protest. Shame and disgrace. I apologize to the warring Ukraine, I am sorry
The Consul General illustrated her post with a painting by a Ukrainian artist, which she received from her as a thank you for the assistance provided by the Poles to Ukrainians after the start of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine.
According to her, the painting symbolically represents sisters in an embrace - Ukraine and Poland.
