Europe and the United States have common enemies, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on the social network X, addressing his “dear American friends“.
“Europe is your closest ally, not your problem. We have common enemies. At least that's how it has been for the last 80 years. We must stick to it - it is the only sensible strategy for our common security. Unless something has changed“, he wrote.
In late November, Tusk reminded NATO allies that the alliance was created to protect Western countries from Russia and expressed hope that “nothing has changed“. Russian President Vladimir Putin said in October that “all NATO countries are at war with Russia“.
The Polish prime minister described the political situation in Ukraine, where the head of the presidential cabinet, Andriy Yermak, was dismissed amid a corruption scandal, and the trip of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban to Moscow to meet with the Russian president, as well as the “chaos in negotiations“ over the US peace plan, as a “fatal combination“.
