- We are here together today in the E5 format to confirm that our countries will safeguard European unity and transatlantic unity - said Prime Minister Donald Tusk in a statement after the "European Five" meeting.

- Poland has had no doubts, and will have none in the future, that the future of Europe, the future of the Western world, and the future of Ukraine at this dramatic moment for it will depend on how well we maintain European and transatlantic unity - he continued.

- Ahead of the NATO meeting in Ankara, it is so important that this signal be very clear and unambiguous. Despite the circumstances, despite the emotions, which happen everywhere and to everyone, we will protect European unity during the war for Ukraine in its confrontation with Russia, we will protect transatlantic ties, even if some politicians do not always appreciate the importance of transatlantic ties - he went on to say.

- Poland will also do everything [...] so that countries directly threatened by Russia's aggressive policy, the countries of the Eastern flank, are represented in all formats. Without Poland, without the Scandinavian countries, without the Baltic states, without Romania, it will be difficult to achieve anything in this civilizational confrontation with aggressive eastern neighbors - he added.
