Jaroslav Kaczynski said on Polish Radio that his decision to dismiss the government was influenced by Russia’s war against Ukraine, as well as the prospect of parliamentary elections in Poland, scheduled for autumn 2023. “Today, the course of the war is such that it is unknown when it will end. On the other hand, it is known approximately when we will have elections. That’s why I had to choose and I made this choice, “the PiS leader stressed.
