Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated that the US position on Russia’s war against Ukraine is "not as clear-cut" as Poland’s. This "dilemma" needs to be overcome, according to The Guardian and BBC.
Tusk gave a brief press conference at the airport before departing for the Ukraine summit in London. He noted that the situation is complex and that there is a "certain dilemma" in that the US position "is not as straightforward as ours” on the Ukraine-Russia war."
The prime minister stated that they must overcome this dilemma and added that Poland has excellent relations with the U.S. and will continue to strengthen them.
Tusk emphasized that Europe has woken up in light of recent events over the past weeks. He noted that at the summit, he will call for an increase in the presence of European troops on the EU’s eastern flank, including in Finland, the Baltic states, and Poland.
"It’s a paradox, someone rightly pointed this out, that 500 million Europeans are asking 300 million Americans to defend them from 140 millions Russians," Tusk said.
London summit
On Sunday, March 2, a summit on Ukraine will take place in London, convened by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
The summit will be attended by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, as well as the leaders of France, Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Canada, Finland, Sweden, Czechia, and Romania, along with the Turkish Foreign Minister, the NATO Secretary-General, the Presidents of the European Commission, and the European Council.
Sky News previously reported that the Baltic states were "very unhappy" about not being invited to the summit on Ukraine.
