Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated that Russia cannot dictate terms to Ukraine and Europe, while the US peace proposal requires joint work. He wrote this on social media platform X following a phone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, reports European Pravda.
"It requires joint work. Russia cannot impose its conditions on Ukraine and Europe. Everything that concerns Poland must be agreed with the Polish government," Tusk wrote.
According to him, Zelenskyy presented his position on the US peace proposal during the conversation. The Polish premier had previously expressed surprise at provisions mentioning his country in the 28-point US "peace plan," in whose preparation Warsaw did not participate.
Zelenskyy confirmed the conversation with Tusk in his social media post and spoke about coordinating actions with partners.
"I shared details of our diplomatic work with the US and Europe. It is important for us that all partners who have been with us since the very beginning of this war are informed about the situation. We are coordinating to ensure Europe is included in the process," the Ukrainian president wrote.
He thanked the Polish prime minister and the Polish people for their support: "We know that we can always count on Poland, and we greatly appreciate this."
The mention of Poland in the 28-point plan, as leaked to the media, includes point 9 about the possible deployment of European fighter jets in the country. Poland is also mentioned in the draft supplementary document on security guarantees for Ukraine in connection with its participation in the "coalition of the willing."
