Abstract

The author claims that Poland is seeking to bring about an active NATO and EU policy in the east of Europe. He shows how Poland participates, by close cooperation with the USA and EU, in the West’s promotion of democracy in the East. The consequences of this have included the inducement of “color revolutions” in post-Soviet countries and rivalry with Russia. The author demonstrates how this policy led to the crisis in Ukraine in the autumn of 2013. He details Poland’s participation in NATO’s “open door” policy of expansion, including to post-Soviet states. He also analyzes Poland’s efforts to have NATO’s eastern flank reinforced, with the consequence that European security has become militarized.

The Supreme Council of the Republic of Belarus “confirming the aspiration to the status of a neutral state” voted on 9 April 1993 to join the system of collective defence of the CIS, but its chairman Stanislau Shushkevich refused to sign the Tashkent Treaty as contrary to the declared in 1990 policy of neutrality of the republic. He did not do so until 5 January 1994.

This is borne out by the outcome of the April 2019 presidential election, won by Volodymyr Zelensky, a comedian with no political experience. This result clearly indicates that the Ukrainian people rejected the policies of the incumbent Petro Poroshenko. In July 2019, early parliamentary elections in Ukraine were won by the party of the new president “Servant of the People”.
