He added that the greatest threat to him and the whole region is the Russian Federation.
« This is a post -imperative, non -communist state, led by Vladimir Putin, a military criminal. I am very critical of the Russian Federation, where I am, by the way, pursued as the President of the Institute of National Memory. I am threatened with five years in prison in prison, » Navrotsky said.
Direct language: « On the one hand, we must support Ukraine in its conflict with the Russian Federation, but Ukraine must understand that other countries, including Poland and Hungary, and other European countries, have their interests.
For example, Poland has such an interest in the exhumation of Volyn victims. During the campaign, I disagreed, and as a president, I will not agree to unfair competition with Ukraine for the Polish agriculture or logistics sector. We need to reach a compromise and consensus on these issues. I see Ukraine as a country that, although very courageously protected from the Russian Federation, should also respect the interests of other countries that support Ukraine in the rest. «
