Tusk: details of the "Paris Declaration" to be discussed at the summit in France, signing possible in Washington in the coming days

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, before departing for Paris for the "coalition of the willing" summit, stated that the leaders of these countries would discuss the details of the "Paris Declaration," which aims to confirm the will for full European-American cooperation to guarantee security, support Ukraine, and its post-war reconstruction. However, no final decisions should be expected in Paris, and the signing of documents that will approve a common American-European position may take place in the coming days in Washington, writes UNN with reference to Rzeczpospolita.

"These will not be commitments requiring specific logistical and financial decisions from this group of countries, but it will be a confirmation of the will for full European-American cooperation to guarantee security, support Ukraine and its post-war reconstruction, and, above all, to achieve fair and secure peace conditions, or at least a ceasefire, from the perspective of Ukraine and Europe," explained the Polish Prime Minister.

"I know that we would all like much more concrete decisions, but this requires goodwill also from the aggressor. So far, there are no signals from Russia," said Donald Tusk.

He explained that the purpose of the Paris meeting is to strengthen and unite European and American positions, as, he added, "only such pressure has a chance to force the Russians to take the issue of a ceasefire, and then peace, seriously."

The Polish Prime Minister said that the discussions would also focus on "certain elements of the future documents of the 20-point peace plan." "Until now, this document has been kept secret; we based our knowledge on leaks and speculations. At this point, we know what the starting point is – these 20 points, as well as documents that will describe cooperation between European countries and the United States in the reconstruction of Ukraine after the war," Tusk noted.

However, final decisions should not be expected in Paris. It is possible that the signing of documents that will ultimately approve a common American-European position will take place in the coming days, possibly in Washington.

Tusk also touched upon the issue of Greenland. "There is no doubt that the issue of Greenland, which has caused a lot of emotions across Europe, will also be a topic that we did not foresee and did not plan," the Polish Prime Minister said, speaking about the Paris summit.

"For Poland, two things are clear and very difficult to reconcile, but they are absolutely clear and unambiguous. No member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization should attack or threaten another member of the Alliance. Otherwise, NATO will lose its meaning if conflicts or mutual aggressive actions arise within the alliance. We are very committed to resolving all potential disputes or discussions through friendly dialogue between NATO members," Tusk said.

"I would like it to be clear to everyone in Washington that any attempts to dismantle or undermine the essence of NATO will probably not be accepted in any European country, at least I hope so," Tusk said.

"We live in very strange times, this year 2026 began with an exceptional explosion. Various storms, various winds, various misunderstandings and anxieties have shaken and are shaking Western countries, but Poland must be one of those countries that will ensure that this strategic European-American connection is preserved not for the next year, not for the next three years, but for decades, because it is a guarantee of security, in a sense, for our entire civilization, not just for Poland. In this spirit, I urge our partners to be solidary and firm, but not to make any mistakes," Tusk said before leaving for Paris.
