Zelensky to Poland:
We cannot be non-partners or non-friends with Poland, because we are neighbors. If you are not a partner, not a friend, then who are you?
Over the years and decades, that turns into what we have with the Russians — disrespect, aggression, and the radicalization of society.
Radicalizing society leads to what? To ratings. To political gains. It is a political struggle that can end very badly, with a very dangerous escalation.
I believe you cannot earn political points or political dividends from hatred, because in the long run it will lead to bad relations between countries and peoples.
