Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk made a high-profile statement on X regarding the war in the Middle East.

On his social media account X, Tusk outlined a clear link between the escalation in the Middle East and financial gains for the Kremlin.

The Polish prime minister drew attention to the economic and political consequences of the Middle East war, emphasizing that Russia is the main beneficiary of the conflict. According to him, increasing chaos in regional markets is driving energy prices up, which has a tangible impact on the global economy.

Tusk also noted that the oil shortage could force Washington to ease or even lift sanctions on Russian oil, further highlighting Moscow's strategic gains from the instability.

Rhetorically asking, "Who is the real winner here?" the prime minister directly pointed out that Russia gains economic and political advantages from the chaos and rising energy prices caused by the Middle East conflict.

Tusk named the country that benefits most from chaos in the Middle East.

Tusk's statement on X

The statement comes amid a critical escalation of the situation in the region.

It should be recalled that as early as January 2026, the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs officially advised citizens to avoid any travel to Iran due to extreme instability and elevated risks, which are now confirmed by forecasts of a protracted conflict that favors the aggressor far away.

Earlier, Donald Tusk urged Polish citizens to leave Iran immediately, warning that further escalation could completely cut off diplomatic channels and safe evacuation options.

Tusk had previously hinted at the involvement of the Polish president in "events funded by Russia."

He also warned that a Ukrainian defeat in the war would lead to a radical deterioration of the situation in Poland.
