Poland Recalls 50 Ambassadors to Strengthen Diplomacy Amid Ukraine Crisis

The move by the new pro-EU government aims to ensure a more professional and loyal diplomatic corps as Ukraine continues to face Russian aggression.

Poland's new government, led by Prime Minister Donald Tusk, has initiated the recall of 50 ambassadors appointed by the previous right-wing administration.
The recall is part of efforts to improve diplomatic missions and ensure a team of loyal envoys during a challenging time, particularly with the ongoing war in Ukraine.
President Andrzej Duda, linked to the former government, may not approve the changes, potentially leaving charges d'affaires in charge of missions where ambassadors were recalled.
The decision to recall the ambassadors is not seen as retaliation but as a necessary step to better address the difficult challenges facing Poland's foreign policy.
Donald Tusk has expressed a high opinion of Poland's ambassador to Washington, Marek Magierowski, suggesting he might not be among those recalled.
