– Those words of solidarity with Denmark were very important. I made sure during our meeting that everyone who unanimously supported Denmark was also aware of the potential consequences we might all face together, as a community – said Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Brussels, at a joint press conference alongside António Costa and Ursula von der Leyen.

– It is very important that our words of solidarity are not slogans, but a conscious undertaking of potential challenges. I speak about this so openly because I represent a country that traditionally has the closest relations with the United States. I also represent a country with the highest rate in Europe and NATO in terms of defense spending as a percentage of national GDP – he indicated.

As he pointed out: – This allows the Polish presidency and the Polish government to speak very openly and with genuine warmth, but also with high expectations, when talking to our friends on the other side of the Atlantic.

– That is why we emphasized this – all of us, in solidarity, even if some more quietly, some more loudly – that for the EU as a whole, a state’s territorial integrity, especially that of an EU member, is something undisputable and we will treat it as the highest priority for the entire community – he stressed.
