Welche Botschaften hat der US-Präsidenten für Ukraines NATO-Nachbar? | DW Nachrichten

first Kiev now Warsaw first clear gestures on the anniversary of the impending Russian invasion of Ukraine now clear words from the American presence Joe Biden gave a speech in the courtyard of the Royal Castle in Warsaw praised the Poles for their solidarity with Ukraine and he up all , European partners and NATO swore unity towards Russia a speech in the name of freedom and beforehand both had also met with leading Polish politicians in Warsaw Reception of the US President by the head of state of Poland in jjuda both visits will be from the Polish side Understood as a kind of security guarantee and, at the same time, as a sign of Poland's improvement on the international stage as a neighbor of Ukraine, Poland is particularly close to war and therefore Therefore, more support from the US is at the top of Warsaw's wish list.

NATO is stronger than ever according to the assessment of the US President in a conversation with the Polish leadership that at the beginning of the war a year ago we must have security in Europe it is so simple and so important NATO is the alliance most important I would say the most important alliance in history, and not just in modern history, so I have made it very clear that the statements and commitments of the United States and our allies are reliable to us as well as a confirmation of that we are on the right track there is our support for Ukraine the backlash the arms deliveries the aid is exactly right on all counts and we have the support of the United States for this the call from Poland for stronger military support for Kiev it can be read in the Warsaw cityscape, according to F16 fighter jets for Ukraine, even when looking out his hotel window, the US president was forced to comply with such demands by activists.

Warsaw's Royal Castle is once again the location the two chose for their evening speech and highlights the will to win a dictator can never build an empire by curtailing people's love of freedom brutality will never break free will of the people and Ukraine will never be defeated by Russia for Europe trägert what are the most important messages of both speeches keeping the alliance these are the central messages that Joe Biden gave here today not only to the Poles but practically to the whole world and he also said that the struggle between freedom and dictatorship is something that goes beyond Ukraine and therefore one cannot and should not lose what happens now in the next five years will determine the lives of children and grandchildren in the next decades, so it put him on a very high pedestal and so did the Russian.

Addressed directly to the people in response to Vladimir Putin's speech today, it was 'we, but Vladimir Putin, only he started this war and only he can immediately end it with one word said to both of us, then it would end and the attempt is just that. Telling the Russians that their propaganda is wrong, they both deliberately gave this speech in Warsaw, and in the speech he went on to show how much he is a very important ally and that Poland and the Poles and the Poles fought hard for their freedom first they suffered under the Nazi terror, then they endured communism and finally they fought to be free and today they have become an important member of NATO and the EU, to the extent that he says that Poland is very important to him and that Poland is a very important ally , especially in this conflict because Ukraine's logistical support goes through Poland.

Poland is a front line. it also has a border it has a small border with Russia and a border with Ukraine and the Poles also feel threatened by Russia they feel really physically threatened and they think they could be next at some point and that's why it's very welcome that the Americans send 20,000 troops to Europe last year and now there are 10,000 American soldiers here in Poland that's welcome people responded to the speech yes several thousand Warsaw residents could be there one didn't need a ticket you could just walk through like this than to talk, and everyone I saw was enthusiastic.

American flags were waved. Ukrainian flags were waved. Polish flags were given. There was much applause. The Poles are friendly to the United States and trust Joe Biden. and the US, but also the close association between Poland and Ukraine and, yes, more than 3 million refugees, two million are still in the country, this war is also changing the weight of Poland within Europe, it is quite clear that this is the importance of Poland in NATO and also in the European Union in regards to this war has increased precisely because of the geopolitical and geographical location not so much because the Americans would now have specifically chosen Poland that there is simply no other way because to this geographical location we will not give then In this war, the two governments will probably not get that close because, president, the Polish president was a defender, a fervent supporter of Donald Trump, that is, the political opponent of Joe Biden.

In that sense, there is definitely a political distance, but this dispute has now surpassed it. to the side and now the Poles and the Americans are standing shoulder to shoulder and the Poles actually hoped that you would get a little more, for which both will concretely pay, appoint new armament, maybe they will announce it here, he did nothing, no He said that the Americans will send more troops, we will go to Poland, maybe we will experience that on Wednesday, when the new front-line states, from the Baltics to Romania, come here to Warsaw and the two of them sit down to discuss what to do next.

Thank you very much for your evaluation directly from Warsaw
