Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk flew to Berlin on December 15 to attend a Ukraine peace‑plan meeting, insisting no future proposals could undermine Poland’s security.
Donald Tusk on Objectives
On Monday, December 15, Prime Minister Donald Tusk flew to Berlin to attend a meeting on a peace plan for Ukraine. He said the main aim was to ensure that no clause in any future proposals would weaken Poland’s security, a goal he claims was achieved 100 percent. His goal also involves maintaining, he said, “not at any price, as this is very difficult today,” all available methods to preserve the close cooperation between Europe and the United States, he added during a press conference aboard the aircraft.
Premier Ashamed of U.S. Ambassador’s Words
Tusk said he is critical and skeptical of certain actions by some administrations, believing partnership relies on it and that this does not alter his conviction that European‑American cooperation is absolutely essential for our and Europe’s security and Ukraine’s independence. He added that Poland has strong arguments, confirming this during a recent conversation with the U.S. ambassador in Poland. He said, “I was somewhat humbled that, from Washington’s point of view, Poland is today the most important partner in Europe, most reliable, despite these political divisions.”
Berlin Meeting Agenda
Leaders from European countries, Ukrainian officials, and a U.S. delegation will attend the meeting. Tusk said it should be clear that on one side are America, Europe and Ukraine, presenting negotiated, compromise‑based, and voluntarily‑adopted cease‑fire and peace terms, and on the other side Russia, which everyone hopes will finally treat these proposals seriously. He believes the meeting will bring us one step closer to peace.
