Polish PM Tusk urges EU leaders to resist Ukraine's capitulation to Russia, highlighting differences with Trump's approach.
WARSAW (Reuters) - European leaders must resist "capitulation" to Russia over Ukraine, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Wednesday, ahead of a virtual meeting of EU leaders to discuss the war following U.S. President Donald Trump's overtures to Moscow. "We cannot agree to Ukraine's capitulation to Russia's, however we call it, impudent demands, including territorial ones," said Tusk in a video posted on X.
The members of the EU Council of national leaders will hear a debriefing from French President Emmanuel Macron on his visit this week to Washington, where he met Trump.
Macron and Trump displayed stark differences on Monday in their approach to Ukraine, exposing a divide between the United States and Europe over Trump's bid for a quick ceasefire deal with Russia.
"We all hope for a quick end to the war, and Europe wants to have the most unambiguous position possible," said Tusk.
He added that while Poland would not send soldiers to a future peacekeeping mission in Ukraine, it was ready to provide any logistical assistance "even on a larger scale, if there is such a need".
