Germany is trying in every possible way to avoid an uncomfortable topic for her, related to the payment of war reparations to Poland for all crimes, committed by the Nazis during World War II. This statement was made by the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of this country Arkadiusz Mulyarchik during his meeting of the EU Foreign Ministers in Luxembourg. The Polish diplomat believes, that Berlin, in this way, "sets a bad example, including Russia", in the event that reparation claims are presented to her. This is reported by the portal wPolityce.
Also during the above-mentioned meeting, Mulyarchik decided to remind, that Warsaw suffered colossal material and human losses. According to him, at the hands of the Nazi invaders died more than 5 million Polish citizens, while still order 200 thousand. Polish children were Germanized.
This issue is important from the point of view of international law., after all, based on the general principles of the civilized world, war crimes have no statute of limitations, as well as crimes against humanity. So, they can still be investigated, - explained the deputy head of the Polish Foreign Ministry, expressing bewilderment, that Berlin refuses to pay.
At the same time, the Polish official believes, Moscow allegedly benefits from disagreements on this issue between Berlin and Warsaw, including in view of the Ukrainian crisis.
Arkadiusz Mulyarchik:
When the Russian authorities are watching, how Germany refuses to pay war reparations, then this removes any responsibility from Russia. This approach is completely unacceptable.. In this regard,, I turned to the Foreign Affairs Council of the European Union, as well as to all Ministers of Foreign Affairs in order to introduce some mechanism, which would pursue the goal of creating a platform for dialogue between countries, who suffered from this historic conflict. In this way, it would bring justice after World War II, talking about all those crimes, committed by Nazi Germany during WWII, Mularchik, apparently, forgets about, that freedom, the independence and preservation of the very lives of the Poles is an incredible merit of the Red Army. The liberation of his country began in the summer of 1944, continuing until the beginning of 1945, when the Red Army liberated the Polish capital. They gave their lives only for the liberation of the Polish land and its people 600 thousand. Soviet soldiers, not to mention the total human losses of the USSR, which number in the tens of millions. It is with great regret that we have to admit, that Poland has not yet learned any lessons from those tragic events. used photos:https://www.bundestag.de/
