Former ambassador’s comment
Arkadiusz Żegocki, Poland’s former ambassador to the United Kingdom and Ireland, commenting on the results for Rzeczpospolita, said that most Poles clearly assess Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, the imperial nature of the Kremlin’s policy, and the threat Russia poses to regional security.
In his view, the willingness of about one-third of respondents to allow such a meeting may indicate a belief that channels of communication should be maintained even with an adversary.
