Prime Minister Donald Tusk is very active internationally in an attempt to rebuild and reignite bilateral relations, as well as to broker consensus on key issues and spur other countries to action in the context of the ongoing war in Ukraine.

“We are living in pre-war times," said the Polish Prime Minister during meetings with heads of state and journalists. We are witnessing the most critical moment since the end of World War II. The security of Poland and Europe depends on the course of the war in Ukraine. Donald Tusk's international campaign has one goal - making other leaders realise that further support for Ukraine is necessary and that it is not a matter for debate.

“The united Europe is Ukraine's only chance to defend itself. There are no alternative solutions," Donald Tusk claimed.

At the same time, we need to focus on Polish security and defence. Poland expressed its willingness to participate in the construction of the so-called Iron Dome to protect the European skies. Alongside our Wisła, Narew and Pilica systems, this new solution will provide additional security for Poland.

Another crucial signal came from Washington, following the meeting between Donald Tusk and President of the United States Joe Biden, who assured the Polish Prime Minister that America will not hesitate to come to Poland's aid if needed. What is more, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom expressed his assurances that RAF Typhoon fighter jets and nearly 16,000 troops will be stationed in Poland as soon as next year.

The Prime Minister believes that Europe and the Member States must effectively protect their territories and control their borders. In many conversations with our partners in Europe, Donald Tusk explains why the migration pact is unacceptable to Poland in the current shape, which was approved by the European Parliament.

Restoring the rule of law in Poland is one of the government's priorities. As a result of the positive changes occurring in Poland, the stream of European Union funds has been unlocked - in total, Poland is slated to receive €137 billion, or 600 billion PLN. As of recently, Poland has received the first instalment, totalling 27 billion PLN, which was the largest single transfer in the history of Poland’s membership in the EU. 

The precarious situation in Ukraine, combined with EU agricultural policy and the decisions of the previous government, all contributed to the current situation of Polish farmers. Prime Minister Donald Tusk is taking part in talks concerning the European Green Deal with the leaders of the European institutions in order to fix the errors of the previous government. As of today, his efforts are yielding tangible effects. The European Commission has put forward proposals for changes that benefit farmers - these include giving Member States more flexibility in meeting certain environmental requirements.

In March, the Polish Sejm adopted a resolution to impose sanctions on the import of Russian and Belarusian food and agricultural products into the EU. The European Commission shared this point of view and proposed raising duties on cereals, oilseeds and cereal products from Russia and Belarus imported into the EU.
