Russia's war aimed at exhausting the Ukrainian economy is entering a decisive phase. Ukraine and its allies face difficult and challenging weeks and months ahead, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said, according to UNIAN.
"We all, not just Ukraine, face difficult and challenging weeks and months ahead," Tusk said.
The Polish prime minister noted that "the war aimed at exhausting the Ukrainian economy appears to be entering a decisive phase."
According to him, Russian attacks are now aimed not only at destroying energy infrastructure but also Ukraine's industrial sector.
Speaking about the situation near the Polish border, Tusk said recent events were concerning. At the same time, Poland is preparing for various scenarios.
"We are talking about possible scenarios, not about what will necessarily happen. Poland and other countries are already preparing for various scenarios, including more dramatic ones. But today, no one can say with 100% certainty what will happen," he said.
It should be recalled that Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk previously urgently convened ministers along with representatives of the government, military and intelligence services following Russian strikes on Yahodyn railway station near the Polish border.
At the time, Tusk warned that the coming months would be a period of intense Russian activity and did not rule out the possibility that the escalation could also affect Polish territory.
