Amidst the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, Poland is gearing up for a potentially pivotal role in the European Union's winter negotiations on the matter. Prime Minister Donald Tusk has hinted at the possibility of talks starting as Poland assumes the EU presidency on January 1.
During a Cabinet meeting, Tusk highlighted the responsibilities the presidency entails, emphasizing Poland's continuous backing of Ukraine against Russia's full-scale invasion that has persisted since early 2022.
