Polish President Duda Criticized for Doubting Ukraine's Ability to Regain Crimea

Polish President Andrzej Duda expressed doubts about Ukraine's ability to regain control over Russian-occupied Crimea, but still believes it can retake Donetsk and Luhansk. His comments have drawn criticism from politicians in the ruling coalition, who are staunch supporters of Ukraine's territorial integrity. The president's remarks have been met with criticism by lawmakers from Poland's ruling pro-European coalition, who are in a different political camp to the president. The president is an ally of the nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party, which lost power in December after failing to build a coalition following the loss of its majority in an October election.
