Tusk: Europe should take example from Poland
In his New Year's address, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk called on Europe to follow Poland's example in terms of security, migration policy, and defense.
According to Censor.NET, this was stated in his New Year's address, which was broadcast by the Polsat News television channel.
In his speech, the head of the Polish government emphasized that he has many reasons to be proud of the country's achievements in recent years. Tusk added that Poland has become an example for other European Union countries in terms of border protection, internal security, and support for allies.
Border security and migration policy
Donald Tusk emphasized that Poland's eastern border is currently secure and well protected. He noted that a strict and responsible asylum policy has yielded tangible results.
"This is an example for all of Europe, which has led to a more than 90 percent reduction in illegal border crossings," said the Polish prime minister.
Tusk also mentioned the effective fight against crime and countering sabotage activities, particularly those carried out by Russia. According to him, such steps increase the level of security not only in Poland but also in the entire region.
The Army, Ukraine, and the Role of the United States
The prime minister also called the Polish armed forces the largest modern army in the European Union. He stressed that it is thanks to this that Poland and Europe feel protected from threats from the east.
In addition, Tusk recalled the support provided to approximately two million Ukrainians who found refuge in Poland after the start of Russia's full-scale aggression against Ukraine.
At the same time, he stated that the United States had agreed, as part of security guarantees for Ukraine after a peace agreement is reached, to send its troops to the Russian-Ukrainian border or the line of contact. According to the Polish prime minister, peace could be achieved within the next few weeks.
- Concluding his address, Donald Tusk wished Europeans to be energetic, courageous, and secure, following the Polish example.
