„If we manage to complete the work of Polish-Ukrainian reconciliation, it will significantly affect the situation in this part of Europe,” said Janusz Reiter in a commentary for Onet [07.04.2023]

During an appearance on the „Onet Rano” program, Janusz Reiter, a former Polish ambassador to the USA and Germany and an expert on the Center for International Relations, argued that reconciliation between Poland and Ukraine must occur not only at the political but also at the social level. Reiter noted that just as Poland once realized that distrust of Germany would drive them towards the East, Ukraine’s distrust of Poland could push them towards Russia. Therefore, according to Reiter, Poland has a unique opportunity to serve as a crucial link between Western Europe and Ukraine.
