Contact between governments and assessment of the situation
Tusk said he maintains constant contact with Yuliia Svyrydenko, who will head the Ukrainian delegation at the International Ukraine Recovery Conference.
He noted that the absence of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy from the event does not disappoint him.
"I am in constant contact with Madam Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko. She informed me that she would head the delegation. As far as I am concerned, I am not disappointed."
De-escalation of tensions and importance of conference
According to the Polish prime minister, emotional tension and inappropriate reactions arose between the presidents of Ukraine and Poland on both sides.

"In my opinion, this means perhaps even a more skillful conduct of the conference, without unnecessary tension, and I see it as a gesture of de-escalation of tensions," Tusk stressed.
- The Ukraine Recovery Conference will take place on June 25–26 in Gdansk. About 1,000 companies are expected to participate, including Ukrainian, Polish, and international companies.
