Tusk Before Departing for Paris:

A Chance, Not a Guarantee, for Peace in Ukraine.

- As you know, we are about to depart with the Polish delegation for Paris for final talks regarding support for Ukraine and potential security guarantees, which have already been declared by European states, the United States, and Canada. Perhaps other countries will also join after certain conditions for peace, or at least a ceasefire, are achieved - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press briefing.

- As I said a few weeks ago, these talks and the efforts of European, American, and Ukrainian diplomacy offer a chance, a bit more than a shadow of a chance, but certainly not a guarantee, they offer a chance for peace in Ukraine. I don't need to explain how important that would be from our perspective, the Polish perspective, if these efforts and these talks actually led to a ceasefire and peace. We will discuss the details of the Paris Declaration - an understandable name. This final meeting will take place in Paris - he continued.

- This declaration will not yet be commitments that would require specific logistical or financial decisions from this group of states, but it will be a confirmation of will. I believe that everyone will accept this declaration. The will for full European-American cooperation for security guarantees, support for Ukraine, the reconstruction of Ukraine after the war, and above all, achieving fair and safe conditions for peace or at least an armistice from the perspective of Ukraine and Europe - the Prime Minister emphasized.
