Key points
- Donald Tusk affirmed in Dublin that European security terms will not be decided behind Poland's back.
- Russia's negotiating positions presented in Abu Dhabi were labeled unacceptable and a threat to Polish security.
- The Polish Prime Minister called for official EU institutions to represent Europe in any future talks with Russia.
Poland opposes any attempts to establish a new security framework in Europe without its participation or on the Kremlin's terms, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated during the European Political Community summit in Dublin.
The Polish head of government emphasized that the demands put forward by the Russian Federation during international consultations are entirely unacceptable for both Ukraine and European nations. According to Tusk, agreeing to Russian conditions would pose a direct threat to Poland's security. He assured that Warsaw would under no circumstances allow key security decisions to be made without the involvement of Europeans.
Representation in Potential Negotiations
Addressing discussions on potential future negotiations with Moscow, the Polish Prime Minister opposed the creation of artificial formats. He argued that European Union interests should be represented exclusively by official EU institutions, including the European Commission, the President of the European Council, and the High Representative for Foreign Affairs.
Tusk's remarks follow efforts by Moscow to revive its late 2021 demands. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov recently stated in Abu Dhabi that a long-term settlement remains impossible without revising the overall European security system and halting NATO's eastward expansion.
