"We are the country that supports sanctions [against Russia] in connection with the situation in Ukraine and due to the fact that Russia has illegally occupied Crimea, in violation of all the international law," Duda said. He expressed hope that the active position of Poland and Polish politicians on the international arena, of the entire international community in all the dimensions, including the major players such as the US and its president, will make Russia start to adhere to the norms of the international law.
