Europeans Must Resist Russia's Impetus, Polish Pm Tusk Says
European leaders must resist "capitulation" to Russia over Ukraine, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Wednesday, ahead of a virtual meeting of EU leaders to discuss the war following U.S. President Donald Trump's overtures to Moscow. The Polish prime minister emphasized that Europe wants an unambiguous position on Ukraine, and while Poland would not send soldiers to a peacekeeping mission, it is prepared to provide logistical assistance. Tusk's comments underscore the need for European unity in the face of Russia's aggressive actions.
- The risk of "capitulation" to Russian demands poses a significant threat to European security and sovereignty, highlighting the importance of collective leadership and diplomacy.
- Can a unified European response to Russia's aggression help to deter further escalation, or will it simply lead to a stalemate that benefits Moscow?
