Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski traveled to the United States on an unofficial visit. The trip was likely initiated by the American side, according to Rzeczpospolita and Polsat News.
According to media reports, on February 20, Sikorski was scheduled to fly to the US. There has been no official confirmation of his visit yet.
The Polish outlet Rzeczpospolita notes that the initiative for the meeting came from the American side. According to Polsat News, the Polish minister is set to meet with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Media reports indicate that Radosław Sikorski’s visit to the US comes at a crucial moment when disagreements have emerged between the US, Ukraine, and Europe.
US-Europe conflict
Last week, during the Munich Security Conference, US President’s Special Representative Keith Kellogg stated that he does not see Europe at the negotiating table regarding the war in Ukraine.
EU countries criticized the US position. Following the Munich conference, French President Emmanuel Macron initiated an emergency summit.
It is known that next week, Macron will travel to the US. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is also expected in Washington.
According to The Telegraph, he will present Trump with a plan to deploy 30,000 European troops to Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire agreement. The outlet also reports that Starmer will urge Trump to keep US fighter jets and missiles in Eastern Europe in case Russia violates the truce.
