Donald Tusk announces Poland’s decision to unblock the border with Ukraine and demanded Western aid to our country.

The Seimas of Poland voted to elect the leader of the Civil Coalition, Donald Tusk, to the post of Prime Minister. On December 13 Tusk will be sworn in and then will represent Poland at the EU Council summit in Brussels.

The new prime minister has already announced his government’s readiness to reach a compromise regarding the situation on the Ukraine border. According to him, the previous government of Mateusz Morawiecki “did not take care of the interests of Polish carriers and refused to control the border with Ukraine during the war.” Tusk said that his government has found a solution that would simultaneously accommodate the interests of protesting carriers and immediately unblock the border.

Also, the new prime minister emphasized that the new government’s task is to demand full commitment from the West to support Ukraine.

At the same time, Ukraine, despite the position of neighboring countries, will ask the European Union to extend the agreement on the liberalization of road freight transportation.
