Geopolitical expert Jacek Bartosiak has delivered a critical assessment of Poland’s foreign policy regarding Ukraine, suggesting the country is losing ground in its approach. Speaking on the “Dzieje” program, Bartosiak argued that the era of gentle global leadership is over, and Poland must adapt to a world defined by competition for strategic resources. He contends Poland needs to overcome its historically peripheral role on the world stage. The discussion, led by Marcin Giełzak, focused on the foundations of Polish foreign policy, the fate of empires, and the ongoing conflict in Eastern Europe. Bartosiak’s analysis suggests a need for a more assertive and strategically focused approach to international relations. He implies current policies are insufficient to navigate the evolving geopolitical landscape. The expert’s comments highlight a growing concern about Poland’s position in a world increasingly characterized by power struggles.
