The West and Ukraine will lose the war if Russia succeeds in dividing them and imposing peace terms, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has said amid the renewed attempts to end the nearly four-year-old conflict.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said peace in Ukraine could be achieved within weeks, citing talks with European leaders, Canada and NATO, and growing momentum around U.S.-backed security guarantees for Kyiv.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk points to US guarantees as key factors fuelling optimism while talks intensify, despite hardening rhetoric from Moscow.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned ahead of a EU vote on financial support for Ukraine that it was a choice of "money today or blood tomorrow."

Moscow launched one of its heaviest air assaults on Kyiv in recent weeks overnight, just as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy prepares to travel to the United States for high-stakes talks with U.S. President Donald Trump on a revised peace proposal.

Polish leader Donald Tusk has warned that he will respond to incursions into his country’s territory. This raises the possibility of Warsaw shooting down a Russian jet in 2026. That would make EU leaders spring into action and jointly establish a 200 bln euro defence fund.
