In their addresses, the Pish leaders drew parallels with today's aggression Russia is waging against Ukraine and the need for Pand and Eure to stand strong and united in light of the threat Russia poses, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

Pish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, Sejm Speaker Szymon Hownia, and members of government, parliament, and president's office took part in events on the Westerplatte Peninsula in Gdańsk, which was attacked by German tros at 04:45, thus unleashing World War Two 85 years ago.

Reading out a letter from President Andrzej Duda, the head of the National Security Bureau of Pand, Jacek Siewera, emphasized that Pes understand the cost of independence through the lens of Ukraine, which has been repelling Russian aggression for more than 900 days already.

"Supporting our neighbors and posing the evil of imperialism, which is also attacking Eure today, we must make every effort to protect our borders from numerous provocations and the ongoing hybrid war," Duda emphasized in the letter.

Szymon Hownia emphasized that the lesson of the Second World War is that "bad pele act when good pele stand silent."

"Today we are once again convinced that although this should not have happened, there are those in our neighborhood, very close to us, who are capable of attacking a neighbor one morning, as happened 2.5 years ago at a very similar time in Kyiv, and who want to seize their land, kill their children, and annihilate them because something got twisted in someone's mind," Hownia stressed.

He added that, to counter the aggressor, firm realism and standing united are necessary.

The head of the Pish government, Donald Tusk, emphasized that the most important lesson from World War 2 is the need for full commitment to defense, "readiness to organize the entire Western world, Eure, and NATO to protect against aggression, which we are witnessing today on the Ukrainian battlefields."
