Supporting Ukraine is a matter of Poland's security, says PM Tusk

Supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia is not a favor to Kyiv but a crucial matter of Poland's own security, according to Prime Minister Donald Tusk.

"One can discuss Polish-Ukrainian relations, but no one can doubt that supporting Ukraine in the war with Russia is a question of our security, and we are doing it for ourselves, for Poles and for Poland, not for anyone else," Tusk said in comments to Slawa TV, as reported by the Unian portal.

Tusk's statement underscores Poland's strategic perspective on the ongoing conflict, framing its assistance to Ukraine as a direct investment in its own national defense and stability. The emphasis is on mutual benefit and the interconnectedness of regional security.

The prime minister's remarks highlight a consistent stance from Poland, which has been a strong advocate for Ukraine since the full-scale Russian invasion began in February 2022. Warsaw has provided significant military, humanitarian, and financial aid to Kyiv.
