Poland’s newly elected Prime Minister, Donald Tusk has pledged to win full Western support for Ukraine in its war against Russia and mediate past hurdles with the European Union.
Tusk spoke to parliament ahead of a confidence vote on Tuesday after his election victory which paved the way for a new pro-EU government after eight years of far-right nationalist rule under the Law and Justice party, which had engaged in repeated disputes with Brussels.
“We will … loudly and decisively demand the full mobilization of the free world, the Western world, to help Ukraine in this war. There is no alternative,” Tusk told lawmakers as he outlined his government’s plans.
Tusk also promised to resolve a month-long blockage at the Ukraine border by Polish truckers, who are demanding the reintroduction of entry permits for their Ukrainian competitors.
“We found a way to meet the needs of Polish truckers as soon as possible and immediately unblock the border,” Tusk said.
