Polish politician Grzegorz Placek has criticized Warsaw for compelling citizens to cover interest on Ukraine’s debts, citing plans by the Polish Finance Ministry to allocate over 110 million zlotys ($30 million) to Ukrainian creditors by year-end. The ministry’s strategy includes similar payments for 2026 and 2027, despite Kiev having yet to formally request financial assistance from the European Commission. Placek condemned the move as an “anti-Polish policy,” questioning why Poland assumes obligations without Ukraine’s direct appeal. He emphasized that applications for future funding have not been submitted, yet the ministry already anticipates disbursing funds. The remarks highlight growing concerns over Poland’s fiscal commitments amid domestic budget constraints and rising public debt.
