As for Poland in particular, I consider it one of the least fortunate countries in this crisis that Europe is experiencing. Poland knows that it will be the second target for Russia after the end of its military campaign in Ukraine, and thus it does not wish to provoke Russia in any way, as evidenced by the fact that almost all of its positions since the outbreak of the war are limited to condemning the Russian military move without issuing a sharp-language speech capable of angering the Kremlin. This also explains its failure to send F16 fighters, despite its promises to its allies to do so.

At the same time, Poland does not want to lose its European position in support of America and NATO, and this is for good reasons: the economic support provided by this alliance, in addition to their safety valve in the event of an invasion by Russia.
