Powerful, frank words from Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki @PremierRP_en to leaders of Germany and France about their handling of Russia (in French, £ paywall, liberal translation) 🧵1/6👇 @PolandMFA @PolishEmbassyUK #Poland lemonde.fr/idees/article/… via @lemondefr "The return of Russian imperialism should not surprise us.
