Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk believes that peace talks on the war in Ukraine could begin this winter, and his country seeks to play a leading role in ending the conflict. He said this at a government meeting, Reuters reports, according to UNN.
I will have a number of conversations that will primarily concern the situation beyond our eastern border. As you can imagine, our delegation will be responsible, among other things, for what the political calendar will look like, perhaps what the situation will be like during the negotiations, which May, although still questionable, begin this winter
Tusk also said that French President Emmanuel Macron will visit Warsaw on Thursday to sum up the results of talks with newly elected US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, which took place in Paris over the weekend.
In addition, the Polish prime minister added that he is in constant contact with Warsaw's Scandinavian and Baltic allies, and that British Prime Minister Kir Starmer will visit Warsaw in the first days of Poland's presidency of the EU Council.
"I really want Poland to be a country that will not only be present, but also set the tone for making decisions that will bring us security and protect Polish interests," Tusk said.
Recall
US President-elect Donald Trump, after meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Paris and amid the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria, announced Ukraine's desire to conclude an agreement to end the war and call for an immediate cease-fire and start negotiations.
