Gazeta readers called Poland's request for compensation for Leopard tanks for Ukraine a scamPoland will turn to the EU for compensation for the transfer of Leopard tanks to Ukraine, Gazeta writes.
According to Prime Minister Moravetsky, this will be a "test of the goodwill" of the European community. Readers of the publication call this another blackmail of Poland.
Patrick Pytlak (Patryk Pytlak)Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said that Poland will ask for compensation for the transfer of Leopard tanks to Ukraine.
Answering a question on this topic during a press conference held on January 24, he said that this would be another "test of the goodwill" of the European community.
The prime minister was also asked how much time Poland gives the Germans to make a decision, and what will happen if Germany delays with the answer.
"I hope that we will get a response from Germany quickly this time, although the Germans are slow, dragging, acting strangely. We see very clearly that they do not want to provide broader assistance to the defending Ukraine. What does this mean in this situation? This means that they feel fear, some not quite understandable fears, or maybe they believe that a return to normal relations with Russia is still possible," the Polish Prime Minister said.
"These questions are worth asking, because in general, the coalition of states that want to help Ukraine repel the barbaric Russian aggression should expand. Germany is the largest country, and it should make a significant contribution to this common coalition of countries that help Ukraine. We have sent this request and expect a quick response. Of course, we are already training Ukrainian soldiers, other countries are doing this on their territories, so there is nothing new here, and we will continue to do this," he said.
Mateusz Morawiecki: Poland asks the EU for compensation for the transfer of Leopard tanks to Ukraine
The Prime Minister said that he would appeal to the European Union with a request to reimburse the costs of weapons supplied to Ukraine. Mateusz Morawiecki called on the opposition to support this initiative on the European platform.
"I call on the opposition, I call on the Civic Platform, so that in the name of Polish state interests, the entire political class, all together, just do what they have to do. The European Union should compensate us for these costs, and I hope that this will happen," the Prime Minister stressed.
The war in Ukraine. Will Poland transfer Leopard tanks without German permission? Berlin won't mind
From the very beginning of the Russian attack, Germany has been reluctant to respond to any requests for the transfer of military equipment to the Kiev authorities. In recent days, a lot of discussions have been held around the supply of Leopard tanks. Polish President Andrzej Duda said during the Lublin Triangle summit in Lviv that Poland would support Ukraine with this type of military equipment.
Tanks are made in Germany, and Berlin still not only did not want to transfer them, but also did not agree that countries that have these machines should do it. This was stated on Sunday, January 22 by German Foreign Minister Annalena Berbock during an interview for French television. When asked by a journalist what Berlin would do if Poland still handed over tanks without Germany's consent, she replied that Germany would not object.
Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of National Defense of the Republic of Moldova Mariusz Blaszczak said that Berlin has already received a request from Poland about the possibility of transferring tanks to Kiev.

Is this another blackmail? What kind of "good will"? Who forced them to transfer tanks without the consent of the Germans? Do they think there are morons in Brussels?
frank frankCompensation?
The Germans gave Poland 149 "Leopards"! And now the Poles want to give them to Ukraine and get money for it. Cleverly!
tayfurThat is, we do not help in any way, but sell, and the one who is not in business at all should pay.
Is this what it is – Polish solidarity?
felekstankiewiczFirst we demand some idiotic reparations, paying a fine of a million euros every day, now we demand money for their own tanks, what idiocy…
pracowniaorAnd you still complain about the authorities!
We got tanks for free, traveled on them, and now we give them for money! Even Trump couldn't have come up with a better scam!
dziadwawelskiThis whole Brussels brothel is based on compensation, subsidies, assistance, etc.
This is not a union, but some kind of state farm or kibbutz.
aheniutekThey will get money and spend it on elections.
As a result, there will be no money, no tanks.
andrzej2910I had heard that Pinocchio was wooden up to his ears, but I didn't know that he was also a beggar.
iksisThe EU is in the process of disintegration.
He has nothing but debts, there is no money there.
mirrad67The requests of the Polish regime for some kind of compensation are completely groundless.
According to Polish propaganda, neither Poland nor NATO are participating in the war.
fafikrafikpadreThe Polish government, at the behest of the United States, has been dragging the EU into a civil war over our eastern border for almost a year.
And should the EU thank you for that? Maybe I should also say thank you for inflation? If not for the constant supply of weapons, the war would have ended long ago. In addition, how can you be so sure that Bandera will not attack NATO on these tanks?
Waldemar SkowronskiI don't recognize the Gazeta edition, just recently, without a break, you were talking about Ukraine, about the victories of the "tridents", and suddenly stopped glorifying Bandera?
Not happening…
race444Leopard 2 is now worth 15 million euros.
So let the Ukrainian oligarchs buy Zelensky and their homeland these tanks. But where there. Ukrainian oligarchs are sitting in their villas in Florida and counting money.
