Poland on Saturday summoned Russia’s ambassador to Warsaw to protest over Russian President Vladimir Putin‘s remarks, calling Poland’s western territories as “Stalin’s gift to Poles,” in response to native media.
“The Ambassador of the Russian Federation Sergei Andreyev appeared at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the meeting began at 10 am and was brief,” Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Pawel Jablonski advised Polish Press Agency (PAP).
Putin stated: “… the western territories of present-day Poland are Stalin’s gift to the Poles. Have our friends in Warsaw forgotten about it? We will remind them.”
The Russian president’s remarks got here after he accused Poland of plotting to take management of Ukraine’s western half by way of the formation of a joint Polish-Lithuanian-Ukrainian army group.
“Stalin was a war criminal responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Poles. The historical truth is beyond doubt,” Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki stated later Friday on Twitter.
