WARSAW, Feb 17 (Reuters) – Poland will not send troops to Ukraine, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Monday, 

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has reiterated that Poland will not deploy troops to Ukraine, even in the event of a ceasefire. He emphasized that Poland’s support for Ukraine will continue through humanitarian and military aid, aligning with the country’s financial capabilities.

This statement was made as Prime Minister Tusk attended an emergency summit in Paris, where European leaders convened to discuss Europe’s role in any potential ceasefire in Ukraine. The summit aimed to formulate a unified response to the ongoing conflict and potential peace discussions between the US and Russia.

 

During the summit, European leaders expressed differing views on the deployment of troops to Ukraine. While the UK showed readiness to send troops, Spain and Poland, represented by Prime Minister Tusk, expressed strong reluctance. Tusk cautioned against questioning Europe’s alliance with the United States and emphasized the importance of fulfilling security guarantees to Ukraine.

Prime Minister Tusk’s position remains consistent: Poland will continue to support Ukraine through non-military means and will not send troops to Ukraine.
