Zbigniew Bogucki, head of the Presidential Chancellery, stated that while Moscow presents the true threat, a "transactional" policy is necessary with Ukraine. He argues that Poland, as a provider of humanitarian and military security assistance, is justified in demanding reciprocity that benefits Polish citizens. This approach implies a quid pro quo, linking aid to specific Ukrainian actions or concessions. Bogucki emphasized prioritizing Polish interests in interactions with Ukraine. The statement highlights a pragmatic view of the relationship, acknowledging the security risks posed by Russia. It suggests a shift from purely supportive aid to a more conditional framework. This stance may reflect domestic concerns regarding the cost and benefit of continued assistance to Ukraine.
