This is precisely how the migration pact was designed to work. The criticism of it in Poland was often misleading.

Equally, however, what Tusk is not telling you now is that, once Poland is no longer deemed a country under migratory pressure, it will have to help others that are.

Unfortunately politicians on all sides regularly take advantage of them

Zelensky has been in Warsaw a few times before, so why was the award given now, while Trzaskowski is standing for president?

...directly on any of Poland's presidential candidates and instead giving a general answer about why supporting Ukraine's EU and NATO accession is important

It was also odd that he granted an award to Trzaskowski for Warsaw's support for refugees now, three years after the main refugee crisis 2/3
