Polish PM says peace in Ukraine isn’t likely to come soon and thinks Russia will keep the war going until winter
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk states that peace in Ukraine is unlikely to be achieved in the near future, anticipating that Russia will prolong the conflict until winter.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has stated that a peace agreement in Ukraine is unlikely to be achieved in the near future, cautioning that Russia is anticipated to persist in the war until at least the winter.
On Tuesday, while addressing reporters in Paris, Tusk mentioned that he had conversations regarding the conflict with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in addition to discussing the wider security landscape in Europe.
Tusk noted that there was minimal evidence suggesting Moscow was willing to consent to either a ceasefire or a peace agreement, pointing to what he characterized as Russia’s inflexible position.
He noted that Ukraine’s allies anticipate Russia will escalate its military actions in the upcoming months, rendering a swift resolution to the conflict more improbable.
The Polish prime minister has announced that Poland will host joint military exercises with French and British troops this autumn. This initiative aims to strengthen regional security and prepare allied forces for any future mission following a ceasefire or peace agreement.
He stated that the exercises would assist members of the “coalition of the willing” in preparing to offer credible security guarantees for Ukraine, while also reinforcing stability throughout the broader region when conditions permit a lasting peace.
