Tusk called for preventing an escalation of the conflict between Poland and Ukraine
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated that dragging Polish and Ukrainian politicians into the conflict is a strategic mistake, the consequences of which will be felt by both countries.
“Dragging politicians in Poland and Ukraine into the conflict is a strategic mistake that will harm both sides: economically, geopolitically, and in terms of reputation. And in politics, as we know, a mistake is worse than a crime,” Tusk said.
According to him, in his discussions with European partners, he is trying to ease tensions and minimize potential losses.
“In my conversations with my European partners, I try to minimize losses and reduce tensions. This is no easy task,” the Polish prime minister added.
