Polish profile wants to defuse the conflict with Ukraine

After the latest row between Ukraine and Poland, which began with President Volodymyr Zelenskyj naming a Ukrainian unit after the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), Polish business profile Wojciech Kostrzewa is now trying to defuse the diplomatic tensions, AFP reports.

Kostrzewa, who represents some of Poland's largest companies, is urging both countries to bury the hatchet.

- It's about building the future, not getting stuck in the past, Kostrzewa told AFP.

Kostrzewa and several other business leaders have signed a petition urging both sides to focus on economic cooperation and not jeopardize the close ties between the countries.

Estonian foreign minister: Drones on NATO soil are a price worth paying

Ukrainian drones crashing on NATO territory are a price worth paying to be able to strike Russian oil refineries and military bases, Estonian foreign minister Margus Tsahkna told the Financial Times.

“Of course we are not happy about these incidents. But we are not telling Ukraine to stop. This is hitting Vladimir Putin’s lifeline,” he said.

Ukraine has stepped up its drone and missile attacks on Russia over the past year. Russia has responded by intensifying electronic jamming and other countermeasures, which has led to some Ukrainian drones going off course and crashing on NATO territory.
