MOSCOW, March 5. /TASS/. Normalizing relations between Poland and Russia in the coming years appears quite plausible, given the potential reboot of the Moscow-Washington line, former Polish Prime Minister (2001-2004) Leszek Miller told Radio Zet.

"Everything is moving in this direction," he responded to a question by the host about whether Warsaw should restore relations with Russia. "I wouldn’t be surprised if within a year or two, we see a new reset in Russia-US relations," he added. The former politician recalled that the previous warming of relations between Warsaw and Moscow took place during incumbent Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s first term as the head of government (2007-2014).

Moreover, Miller noted that Russia has no intention of attacking Poland.

In late January, Krzysztof Bosak, leader of Poland’s Confederation right-wing alliance and deputy marshal of the lower house, said that the West is expected to return to political and business ties with Russia, and this renewal would come inevitably, regardless of Poland’s wishes. This type of reset would also be useful for Warsaw, he emphasized.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said in late November 2024 that he hoped that Russia would mend relations with Europe. According to the president, European partners are just as interested in restoring relations with Russia as it is, or perhaps even more. Putin expressed hope that the policy of improving relations with Russia in the best interest of European countries and peoples would prevail.
