Poland's independence will be threatened if Ukraine is forced to surrender," Prime Minister Donald Tusk said at the break of the summit of EU leaders, one of the most important in the history of the Union. EU leaders are to decide on Ukraine's support in defending against Russia's aggression, and consequently on the credibility and security of Europe.
- I want this to finally reach everyone – not only to our colleagues here in Europe, but also to everyone in Poland – that when we talk about the need to support Ukraine with the help of Russian funds, it is because we know perfectly well that the independence of Ukraine distances the risk of aggression or war from the borders of Poland. On the other hand, the fall of Ukraine as a result of this war would mean a direct threat to Poland - in a dramatic tone, Prime Minister Donald Tusk addressed journalists at the break of Thursday's summit of EU leaders in Brussels.
