According to Tusk, the escalation of the dispute will have negative consequences for both states.
Getting drawn into a conflict between politicians in Poland and Ukraine is a strategic mistake that will cost both sides: in business, geopolitical, and reputational terms. And in politics, as is known, a mistake is worse than a crime
The Polish prime minister's statement came amid the fallout following the decision of Polish President Karol Nawrocki to strip Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of the Order of the White Eagle.
After this, Zelenskyy sent the award back to Poland, and a number of Ukrainian politicians and public figures announced they were renouncing their own Polish honors in a show of solidarity.
Tusk stated he is in contact with European partners
The Polish prime minister emphasized that he is trying to prevent further escalation of the situation.
In conversations with my European partners, I am trying to minimize losses and reduce tension. This is not an easy task
