Poland will demand full mobilization of the West to help Ukraine. Only a united West can help win the war. This opinion was expressed by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk in his speech in the Sejm before the vote to confirm his government.
"We will demand full mobilization of the West to help Ukraine. I can no longer listen to politicians who say they are tired of the situation in Ukraine. They tell President Zelensky that they are tired of the situation," he said.
Tusk compared the attack on Ukraine to "an attack on all of us."
"We also need to speak with one voice about Ukraine. It should also unite us," he added, adding that he will go to Brussels in the coming hours to convince allies to defend democratic values and Ukraine from Russian aggression.
The politician insists that only a united West can help Ukraine win the fight for democratic values.
"By some strange coincidence, politicians who attack the foundations of democracy are anti-Ukrainian. I want Ukraine to be democratic and rule of law, like Western countries. And they are fighting for it now," he stated.
Tusk's statements about Poland's interests in the context of assistance to Ukraine can be singled out as a separate item.
"We will defend Polish interests in relations with every neighbor of Poland. But we must remember what the war is about. That Ukrainians are fighting for something extremely important, that their struggle began on the Maidan, that they are fighting to join the common Western world," he said.
Tusk added that Poland's assistance to Ukraine is crucial, but at the same time, the Poles "must remain persistent when it comes to the interests of Polish farmers, in particular."
