Poland's Sikorski Denies Ukraine Partition Comments

Polish ex-Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski has responded to an article in a US magazine where he allegedly says Russia offered Poland to annex five Ukrainian provinces.

Sikorski wrote on Twitter some of his comments had been exaggerated, though he did not specify which ones.

Rozmowa z Politico nie była autoryzowana i niektóre moje słowa zostały nadinterpretowane. Potwierdzam, że PL nie bierze udzialu w aneksjach.

He added the Politico magazine was not authorized to publish these comments, since he had not seen the text before it was published and had not given is consent for specific quotations.

"I confirm that Poland will not participate in an annexation," he further added.
