Ukraine’s actions in Kursk region of RF are defensive - Polish Prime Minister Tusk
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk believes that Ukraine's operation in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation is an exercise of the internationally recognized right to self-defense.
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to European Pravda.
Commenting on the Ukrainian attack in the Kursk region, Tusk emphasized that "Ukraine's actions are defensive actions."
"What Russian troops and Russian aviation are doing on Ukrainian territory has signs of genocide, inhuman crimes. And Ukraine has every right to wage war in such a way as to paralyze Russia in its aggressive intentions as effectively as possible," Tusk said.
The Polish prime minister added that the government is in constant contact with the Ukrainian side, "but, of course, we are not talking about consultations, which mean that someone in Kyiv should coordinate with me on what day, where, who will move."
"We support Ukraine in a war that is defensive," Tusk emphasized.
