There is a new Polish defense package. We appreciate your continued help. There is a new form of our cooperation for the sake of a larger scale of weapons purchases for Ukrainian needs — this is a Polish loan for Ukraine. The possibility of future joint production of weapons was also discussed with the Prime Minister today. Thank you for supporting Ukraine! — wrote Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Donald Tusk's position on Ukraine. What is essential to know

The new head of the Polish government is a pro-Ukrainian politician who supported our people in every possible way against the backdrop of the Russian invasion.

He repeatedly criticised his predecessor, Mateusz Morawiecki, and his team for not contributing to solving the blockade problem on the Polish-Ukrainian border.

Under his rule, official Warsaw agreed with the carriers on unblocking the border.

Despite this, Donald Tusk warns that his priority is the interests of his own country, which he will not ignore for the sake of Kyiv's comfort.
