As Poland approaches its presidential election in May 2025, the political landscape is shifting, particularly in relation to Ukraine and NATO. Andrzej Duda's departure after his two terms leaves room for new leadership, with Karol Nawrocki, a controversial figure from the ruling PiS party, emerging as a potential front-runner. Nawrocki’s critical stance on Ukraine's EU and NATO membership, especially regarding historical grievances like the Volhynia massacres, is causing tension between Poland and Ukraine. Ukrainian President Zelensky has directly criticized Nawrocki’s remarks, further complicating the already delicate relationship. As the election nears, Poland's potential pivot in foreign policy could disrupt NATO’s strategy and raise concerns for Ukraine's security.
