There is no objective reason why Ukraine should lose the war.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that Poland's geopolitical future looks optimistic, but everything depends on a settlement on the front line in Ukraine.
He said this in an interview with Gazeta Wyborcza.
Tusk said that Poland should strategically use its key position in the region and continue supporting Ukraine, as its defeat would mean a worsening of the situation over the Vistula River.
Tusk said Poland's geopolitical future "will look very good if Ukraine does not lose and if we manage to overcome this historical Polish-Ukrainian resentment."
"Building a strong, friendly partnership with a sovereign Ukraine, of course without forgetting our interests, is a great opportunity for Poland," the Polish prime minister assessed.
"Therefore, we should focus on helping Ukraine, because if it loses the war, the situation in Poland will radically change for the worse. Although even here I am a moderate optimist. There are no objective reasons why Ukraine should lose," he said.
Tusk also recalled the incident on the night of September 9-10, when Russian drones violated Polish airspace. He called it "a turning point in the conflict."
The decision to shoot down the drones he called difficult. "It was not easy, because no one wants to overreact and inadvertently start World War III," he said, noting that "giving in, tolerating provocations, does not lead to anything good."
