Polish PiS Presidential Candidate Takes Poll Lead, Says No to Ukraine in NATO

Karol Nawrocki, a PiS-supported Polish presidential candidate, took a narrow lead in polls on May 21 by pledging to block Ukraine's NATO membership.
Nawrocki’s stance follows concerns that Ukraine’s NATO entry could drag Poland into war with Russia, drawing criticism from rivals who see it as undermining national unity.
He aligned with right-wing rival Sławomir Mentzen by signing a declaration opposing Ukraine’s NATO accession and Polish military support for Ukraine.
The declaration includes pledges against new taxes, restrictions on firearms, and ratifying new EU treaties, reflecting Mentzen’s pro-Kremlin views and voter base demands.
This position signals a shift in Polish politics ahead of the June 1 runoff, suggesting potential limits on Poland's support for Ukraine and changes in EU relations if Nawrocki wins.
