Tusk warned about Russia's plans
The politician made a statement on this matter at a joint press conference with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky in Warsaw.
Donald Tusk recalled the meeting of leaders of states on security in the Baltic Sea, which took place on Tuesday in Finland, where they discussed, in particular, Russian acts of sabotage.
These acts of sabotage are versions of the war that Russia has declared on the whole world, not just Ukraine. They require joint action, and Poland plays a key role in countering acts of sabotage and diversion that have occurred not only on Polish territory.
