Wojna na Ukrainie

“Once the war is over, Ukraine’s economy will evolve, becoming increasingly significant” – claims CEO of Bank Pekao S.A. Leszek Skiba, former governmental plenipotentiary for supporting reform in Ukraine. He goes on to emphasise the scale of change over the past year.

Ukraine is now our 9th biggest export partner and the 15th biggest source of imports to Poland. No one expected such robust results in the early months of the war. These positive relations will provide long-term benefits and the cooperation will continue in the future with reconstruction projects, says Waldemar Buda, Minister for Economic Development and Technology

As a result of the outbreak of the war, many decision-makers have learned more about Central Europe than over the past 20 years. Our region has become the coordinator of aid to Ukraine. Has its political importance increased?

The “strategic pause” we experienced after the fall of the Berlin Wall is consigned to history and there is no going back. The events of the last twelve months are just a prelude to many different sequels

The first world war brought the use of tanks and war gases. The second, the atomic bomb. Russia's invasion of Ukraine became a testing ground for digital warfare solutions

Our interviewees very often talk about it themselves: for many of them, the war is when they felt fully part of the Ukrainian political nation

If Russia occupies Ukraine, it will then annex Belarus and Moldova. And at the same time, it will redirect all its forces to waging a hybrid war against Poland, Romania and the Baltic States

From Russia’s perspective, Ukraine is a trophy in a macho game between the powers. People in Moscow believe that they have the right to subjugate the neighbouring countries, and that the West should recognise it
