Summary/Abstract: Whereas Germany and the USA are seen as Poland’s most important foreign policy partners and the closest allies, relations with Eastern countries – Ukraine and Russia – are judged as less essential for the pursuit of Polish foreign policy goals. The initiation of the Eastern Partnership is considered the biggest success of Poland’s foreign policy since the EU accession, yet Polish eastern policy in general is deemed ineffective and rated as the most profound foreign policy failure since 2004.
