Legendary Polish anti-Communist Lech Wałęsa has slammed Donald Trump’s Oval Office attack on Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky, comparing it to Soviet secret police tactics. Wałęsa, 81, signed a letter along with 38 other Poles who had been held captive by the Communist regime,

The letter comes amid heightened tensions in U.S.-Ukraine relations as Washington debates continued military aid to Kyiv.

Wałęsa, who served as president soon after Poland embraced democracy, and the others tell Trump that they found it offensive that he expected Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to show respect and gratitude for the material assistance the United States has given Ukraine as it defends itself against Russia’s invasion.

Lech Wałęsa, who helped topple his Communist government in 1989, rebuked President Donald Trump in a letter signed by 38 other former political prisoners.

Former prisoners of the Soviet Union's communist regime have written a letter addressing Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy clash in the Oval Office.
