Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk delivered a powerful historical warning as Ukraine peace talks continue in Berlin. Speaking at a ceremony marking 80 years since the incorporation of Poland’s Western and Northern Territories, Tusk vows that never again will foreign tyrants turn Polish towns to ashes — invoking the legacy of Hitler and Stalin while stressing military strength, national independence, and self-reliance.br br As negotiations involving Ukraine, the US, and European leaders unfold, Tusk underlines Poland’s role in regional security and its commitment to peace — but not at the cost of weakness. With Volodymyr Zelensky signaling flexibility on NATO membership in exchange for security guarantees, Europe stands at a historic crossroads.
