From Russia with Gas — @tvp_info reveales @donaldtuskEPP's "love" letters to #Putin. Shocking words, reflect the essence of the Civic Platform diplomacy. Amongst others documents include references to the partitions of 🇵🇱 & to tsarist 🇷🇺. #energysecurity #RussiaIsATerroristState

The editors of Jedziemy revealed a previously unknown letter from Donald Tusk to Putin from June 2008. The content of another document with which the then Foreign Affairs MP @radeksikorski traveled to Moscow to meet Lavrov were also published.

In January 2008, Sikorski traveled to Moscow to meet with 🇷🇺 politicians. According to @tvp_info, Sikorski presented an analysis drafted by the 🇵🇱 MFA during the meeting. The analysis consisted of several points that were to constitute a new "philosophy of 🇵🇱-🇷🇺 relations".

@michalrachon, the program host also highlighted the fact that at the time the document was written, the 🇷🇺 regime was already well known for its crimes, espionage, acts of terrorism and an overall hostile policy towards Poland.

On the first page of the document we read that the new "philosophy of 🇵🇱-🇷🇺 relations" is to be founded on the historical 🇵🇱🇷🇺 ties when the Tsar of Russia was the king of 🇵🇱 and Poland was wiped off from the map.

The document emphasizes that "despite numerous conflicts in the 19th & 20th centuries, it is worth recalling that after the establishment of the Kingdom of Poland in 1815 (...) the tsar won much sympathy with the Poles"

The document presented by @michalrachon also contains shocking words showing Tusk's Sikorski's & other 🇵🇱 diplomats' sentiment towards Putin.

"We appreciate what Putin has done for 🇷🇺. We are aware of the great responsibility he has taken on himself in modernizing this nation"

In the document presented by Sikorski in the meeting with Lavrov, there are declarations of further actions to make 🇵🇱 &🇪🇺 dependent on 🇷🇺 energy sources. "🇷🇺 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 with the West plays a significant role in ensuring common 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 & 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲"

Another document showing the Civic Platform's take on the 🇵🇱🇷🇺 relations presented during the program was a previously unseen letter from June 2008 that Tusk wrote to Putin, bearing Tusk's signature.

"Let me express my strong belief that our talks contributed to strengthening the atmosphere of understanding and trust between 🇵🇱 and 🇷🇺. We strive to ground these relations more firmly in the context of Russian-EU relations".

Unsurprisingly, @Piotr_Wawrzyk, 🇵🇱 Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, described Donald Tusk's shocking letter to Vladimir Putin as "something extraordinary" and "compromising for such a politician"

"Shocking words, but I think that they are a true reflection of Donald Tusk's & Civic Platform's foreign policy towards #Russia, who treated 🇷🇺as a friend and a reliable partner, and didn't do anything to change this"
— @Piotr_Wawrzyk concluded in his interview with @michalrachon

Media has been whitewashing Donald Tusk for years, but internet has no mercy, truth always comes out.
