The Polish PM stressed the need to contain Russian aggression rather than seeking compromises
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has called on European partners to increase sanctions pressure on the Russian Federation and continue support for Ukraine. He emphasized that the West must abandon illusions regarding the intentions of the Kremlin, which seeks nothing but domination. This was reported by Ukrinform, according to the portal PromPolitInform.
The head of the Polish government made this statement during the opening of the Warsaw Security Forum. According to the official, Russia shows no interest in a peaceful settlement, responding with cruelty to any calls for a ceasefire or an end to the shelling of civilians.
Ending illusions about the Kremlin
Tusk warned partners about the danger of diluting responsibility for the ongoing war. He emphasized that attempts to equate the positions of the victim and the aggressor are beneficial only to Putin. The Prime Minister assured that Poland would not succumb to intimidation and would continue to provide assistance to Ukraine, as this is a key condition for the security of every sovereign state.
Discussing defense challenges
The Warsaw Security Forum, held on October 12-13, focuses on issues of countering Russian aggression. During the event, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha will participate in a presentation of a downed Russian strike drone. Experts plan to discuss mechanisms to limit the industrial capabilities of the Russian Federation, in particular by controlling Western components that account for about 80% of the parts in enemy UAVs.
Support for Ukraine
The forum organizers identified the Ukrainian issue as a central element of the agenda. In addition to political discussions, the program includes honoring Mariupol defender Kateryna Polishchuk with a courage award. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also joined the event, participating in the discussion via video link.
