Fighting Russian threats

The Prime Minister stressed that Russia was not only a military threat. He pointed to the dangers of propaganda, energy manipulation or diplomacy.

"We must learn how to fight all these Russian threats, not only on the battlefield, by supplying weapons to Ukraine - which is exactly what we have been doing for the last few months," he said.

An important element of support, which Poland is also seeking, is direct financial aid for Ukraine.

A common response to Russia's actions

”Russia has recreated the worst demons of the twentieth century - colonialism, imperialism, nationalism. All the demons we thought belonged to the dark past. But they returned to the surface”, concluded the Prime Minister.

That is why we must act quickly and decisively. We must be one step ahead of everything Putin creates. The response to the threats from Russia should be swift and common – on the part of the Transatlantic Community. This is the recipe for our success.
