Lech Walesa, the former Polish president and leader of the Solidarity movement that helped end Communist rule, has written a letter to Donald Trump expressing 'horror' over his treatment of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Walesa, along with other former Polish political prisoners, compared Trump's behavior to the bullying tactics of Communist-era officials. The letter criticizes Trump’s scolding of Zelensky, which they found deeply offensive. The move highlights growing international concern over Trump's approach to diplomacy and his handling of Ukraine.
