Mideast violence benefits Russia, adds to migration pressure on EU -Polish president October 08, 2023 at 12:45AM

Poland's president, Andrzej Duda, has stated that the ongoing violence between Hamas and Israel benefits Russia by diverting international attention away from its aggression in Ukraine. Duda also expressed concern that the conflict could lead to increased migration pressure on Europe, particularly from the Middle East. Poland has been a supporter of Ukraine and has sheltered over a million Ukrainian refugees.
