During his visit to Lviv today, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk discussed the current situation at the front in Ukraine and coordinated efforts with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Tusk announced a new military aid package for Ukraine, the 46th of its kind, valued at €100 million, which will be delivered in January.
During their talks, Zelenskyy said they had addressed the battlefield situation and the importance of cooperation with international partners. He emphasised the urgent need for additional assistance for the Ukrainian military, currently engaged in combat against Russian troops in various areas along the front lines.
Zelenskyy also noted that participants in the upcoming meeting in Brussels this week will focus on urgently strengthening Ukraine.
Following his visit, Prime Minister Tusk made a significant appeal to his colleagues at the European Council, addressing concerns regarding speculation about Ukraine’s potential defeat at the front.
“My appeal to Western leaders from Lviv. Stop speculating about Ukraine’s possible defeat. It has nothing to do with the facts. Ukraine, despite some naysayers, defends itself effectively against Russian aggression, even though no one gave it a chance in the first days of the war. Do you remember? You remember it best. And you have proven in all those years that you must think with faith in your strength. And you believed in your strength. Now is the time for the whole West to believe in its own strength, possibility, and its ability to convince all the actors of this great game that Ukraine and the whole world deserve just peace and respect for territorial integrity and borders. We can no longer hesitate,” Donald Tusk posted on X.
