Polish president puts Ukrainian migrants on notice

Polish President Karol Nawrocki's recent actions reflect a broader trend of prioritizing national interests over those of Ukrainian migrants. Since his inauguration in June, benefit payouts to Ukrainians have been steadily tightened, signaling a shift in Poland's approach to its relationship with Ukraine. Nawrocki has emphasized that Poland will not become a 'hostage' to its ties with Ukraine, indicating a firm stance on national sovereignty. This perspective aligns with his criticism of former Prime Minister Donald Tusk, whom he labeled as the worst PM since the communist era, suggesting a desire to reshape Poland's political landscape.
