- This process will of course require further meetings, and as I said, which was in fact the main goal of my speech, but also of several other colleagues gathered at this table who supported this position, to achieve the results we are talking about, we must constantly exert strong pressure on Russia. Therefore, we welcomed President Trump's declaration with great hope, and I accepted with satisfaction the readiness, actually expressed by all participants of today's meeting, to exert this pressure on Russia, including sanctions if necessary, to compel Russia to seriously consider these efforts for peace - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference in Paris.

- I emphasized that Poland is not naively optimistic here regarding Russia's stance. I remain very skeptical about the goodwill of the Russians. Meaning, it won't exist, and this was actually agreed upon. However, pressure on the one hand is this double pressure, i.e., an extensive, international, and united system of support for Ukraine, now during the war and real security guarantees for the post-war period, and simultaneously pressure, including sanctions against Russia, on Russia. This is where it will go - he continued.

As the head of government stated: - We all want to use this moment, when both Ukraine and all the countries that participated in this meeting today are showing goodwill in a sense. Let's call a spade a spade – Ukraine is ready for compromise, or at least is seriously and earnestly discussing compromise. And these peace conditions would not be particularly humiliating for anyone. Therefore, we, as the international community, must force Russia, or persuade it.

- I don't want to use strong words, and it's understood that it would have to be the action of all countries in the coalition of the willing, without exception. But to force or persuade it to finally sit down seriously at the table and discuss the terms of peace? Will it succeed? We'll see. Poland is doing good work here, and everything that depends on us will be done - he added.
