An intensifying public row between Polish President Karol Nawrocki and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky undermines political unity and plays directly into Russia's hands, the European Commission has warned.
"If there's something we have learned over the past five years (of) facing this unprovoked war in Ukraine is that unity is our strongest tool, and that anything that undermines that unity, including disputes, in this case, between a member state and Ukraine, is not helpful," Paula Pino, the Commission's chief spokesperson, told journalists on Tuesday.
"There is only one happy observer in this type of situation, and that's the aggressor in Ukraine, so we shouldn't be playing into their hands."
