Tusk’s Successor Signals Softer Polish Stance on Ukraine - Bloomberg

Tusk’s Successor Signals Softer Polish Stance on Ukraine - Bloomberg:



"Polish Prime Minister-designate Ewa Kopacz promoted rival Grzegorz Schetyna to run foreign policy and signaled her government will moderate the country’s stance toward Russia in the crisis ravaging neighboring Ukraine.



The new cabinet should approach the conflict between Russia and Ukraine like “a reasonable Polish woman,” making security at home its top priority, Kopacz said at a news conference in Warsaw today. Schetyna, head of parliament’s foreign affairs committee, will replace Radoslaw Sikorski, who spearheaded Poland’s policy on Ukraine under former Premier Donald Tusk.



“We shouldn’t rush to become part of this military conflict,” Kopacz said as she presented her cabinet. “When the big European family decides that we want to help” Ukraine, “then we should take part in providing help, but together with other countries.”"
