Curtailing aid to Ukraine will only prolong the war, Mr Zelensky argues. And it would create risks for the West in its own backyard. There is no way of predicting how the millions of Ukrainian refugees in European countries would react to their country being abandoned. Ukrainians have generally “behaved well” and are “very grateful” to those who sheltered them. They will not forget that generosity. But it would not be a “good story” for Europe if it were to “drive these people into a corner”.

What does “sanation” mean in this context?

Piłsudski’s political faction main political slogan was “moral sanation of state and society”, therefore it’s commonly called just “Sanacja” in Poland. PiS openly appeal to that and don’t hide that they see themselves as the political scions of that faction.

I’m guessing by “moral sanation” they mean extermination of everything “deviant”, starting with socialism?

Yup, though it was rather on a less severe range of fascism, mostly due to weakness of communists in Poland.
