 Let's get a snapshot still because we're not quite there yet Bogdan Klitsch of Poland is a country obviously That has been heavily impacted by this war I know your country has taken in a large influx of Ukrainian refugees has been warning About Russia and Vladimir Putin in particular for many years is something that perhaps some of your European partners did not take too hard let's get a quick snapshot from the view from Warsaw as well Before we dive into what this war actually means for the future of the EU. I Don't want to exaggerate, but it was last year here during this conference that we are talking also about Russian threat and I warned about not only militarization of the foreign policy of the Russian Federation, but also on plans of Vladimir Putin to reintegrate as biggest part of the former Soviet Union including Ukraine as an indispensable part of this of this plan by the way I Mentioned also soft annexation of Belarus that at that time was almost Completed but Let's say frankly that probably probably even in November or December. Nobody expected such a There was a it was CIA that knew from the very beginning of November and shared this those informations with partners in in Europe about full-scale war that was planned by Vladimir Putin, but we believed rather that there will be an operation limited to the southern and eastern part of of Ukraine Not with the operational goal that is so so visible right now because the operational goal of this Of this war of Vladimir Putin against Ukraine is to destroy the statehood of Ukrainian of Ukrainian state and to exterminate its inhabitants. I underlined it because We witness not we observe not only war crimes We observe not only crimes against humanity in in Ukraine Not only in butcha yirpin. Not only in Hostel in Mariupol and other places, but everywhere in In that country, but we also see the examples of genocide Genocide there and it was expressed several times very clearly by either Putin himself or his his collaborators But there are two other operational goals that are important Not only for Ukraine, but also for European and Atlantic community I would say destabilization of the European Union and Paralysis of NATO they were expressed Just before the beginning of this full-scale war in Ukraine in the famous ultimatum of president put into to the West so From Polish perspective if you ask about that this is the war that That refers not only to Ukrainian nation not only to Ukrainian statehood But also to the European Union and Atlantic community as a as a whole. That's why we are Satisfied with the with three important New factors the first one it is the return of the United States to Europe President Biden declared that during his campaign and he did it at least since June 2021 when as we remember when he paid his first visit to Europe taking part in three summits G7 summit NATO summit, but also the European Council also European Council and there are consequences of of that. That's first secondly the important consequence of of this war was a Political reintegration of of the alliance NATO was a split during president Trump's Presidency strip very deeply there was a military unity and because of military commanders of NATO the alliance Went ahead, but there was a political split and the lack of political unity So after the beginning of the war in Ukraine NATO presented itself as a as an integrated Entity and the third one it is the reaction of the European Union Frankly speaking as a chair of the four in the first and European Union's Committee of Polish Senate. I haven't seen before such a speed such an acceleration of an Legislative process concerning External threats Ukraine mainly that in only in two weeks from the beginning by the European Commission to the to the final decision of the European Union's Council, there is there the main acts are adopted and Such a big amount of money that was allocated from the use from the European peace facility To support Ukraine it means 3.1 billion euro for military expenses only for military expenses How much did you say 3.1? Only for military expenses from the European peace facility. I don't know you know a more than 13 billion euro from for the micro economic aid and those that were designed for next year I mean at least 18 billion euro epf it with the is around four. Yeah, I mentioned you know the European peace facility 3.1. It's more than that now But Europe I think the point Figures aside the point you're making is quite clear Europe has acted Uncharacteristically perhaps acted swiftly moving around the red tape that often involves decision-making in Brussels and has acted with Decision and resolve here. Thank you so much. I will come back to you of course as this discussion involves
