Lech Wałęsa and dissidents from the Solidarity era wrote a letter to Trump
“We watched the report of your conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky with horror and disgust. Your expectations of respect and gratitude for the material aid provided by the United States to Ukraine, which is fighting against Russia, are offensive to us. Gratitude belongs to the heroic Ukrainian soldiers who are shedding their blood to defend the values of the free world. For over 11 years, they have been dying on the front lines in the name of these values and the independence of their homeland, which was attacked by Putin’s Russia. We do not understand how the leader of a country that is a symbol of the free world can fail to see this,” Wałęsa and former Polish political prisoners wrote to Trump.
The signatories expressed fear that the atmosphere of that conversation in the Oval Office reminded them of the interrogations by the Security Service and the courtrooms of communist tribunals.
“Prosecutors and judges, acting on orders from the all-powerful communist political police, also told us that they held all the cards while we had none. They demanded that we cease our activities, claiming that thousands of innocent people were suffering because of us,” Wałęsa wrote.
