Waldemar wrote that before the meeting of the Sejm, Marshal Włodzimierz Czarzasty directed three appeals to President Karol Nawrocki. The first concerned the remarks of U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who — as the author of the entry reported — downplayed the involvement of NATO allies in the fighting in Afghanistan. Czarzasty reminded that 44 Poles died there and accused Nawrocki of lacking a decisive reaction and defending the dignity of Polish soldiers. The second appeal related to the planned meeting of Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Xi Jinping regarding Ukraine, without the participation of Kyiv and the EU. Czarzasty reportedly called such a scenario a scandal and urged the president to take a stance. The third appeal was directed to Nawrocki and the PiS circles regarding possible agreements with Russia. According to Waldemar, Czarzasty urged them not to be afraid and not to subordinate themselves to Trump. The author of the entry concluded with a declaration that he likes Czarzasty. #Polska #NATO #Wojna (translated)
