– We are fully aware that potentially approaching negotiations require Europe’s presence. Ukraine also expects this, but of course, at this moment, as you know, there are still many question marks. There is no doubt that we will try, at the upcoming special European Council meeting, just as we have throughout our work, not only to strengthen European unity but also to cooperate very closely on defense matters, on Ukraine and Russia, and on a common security policy with the United Kingdom and Norway – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a press briefing alongside the President of the European Council, Charles Michel.
