  1. First Ukraine, then hopefully Russia will progress and move forwards post Putin and one day join up as the final piece in the puzzle in integrating all of the peoples of Europe together.

  2. Sure he did.

    Advance from :

    “Not gonna happen”

    To

    “Maybe in 15 years if you guys take care of ur shit”

  3. Fun fact: realistically, it won’t happen anytime soon.

  4. >Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk has vowed to prioritize Ukraine’s path to European Union Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk has vowed to prioritize Ukraine’s path to European Union membership during his country’s upcoming presidency of the bloc.

    >**Why It Matters**

    >With Poland now holding the rotating presidency of the European Union, Warsaw is poised to leverage its position to advance Ukraine’s aspirations to join the 27-member bloc.

    >Over the next six months, Poland will have the influence to place Ukraine’s membership quest at the top of the EU agenda. This aligns with Warsaw’s long-standing support for Kyiv, particularly in light of the ongoing war with Russia.

    >**What to Know**

    >As a strong supporter of Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict with Russia, Poland aims to leverage its leadership position to accelerate Ukraine’s integration into the EU. The commitment underscores Warsaw’s determination to support Kyiv’s bid for membership and solidify its ties with the European Community.

    >**Why Is Tusk Meeting With Zelensky Now?**

    >Zelensky is visiting Poland following a breakthrough agreement between the two nations on the exhumation of Polish victims of World War II-era massacres committed by Ukrainian nationalists.

    >While Poland has been one of Ukraine’s most steadfast allies since Russia’s full-scale invasion nearly three years ago, unresolved historical grievances continue to cast a shadow over their relationship.

    >**What Are the Tensions Between Poland and Ukraine?**

    >The issue of Polish victims from World War II-era massacres, still lying in mass graves on Ukrainian soil, remains a source of deep bitterness for many Poles. The memory of these brutal killings has lingered for decades, creating tension even as the two nations work closely together against shared threats.

    >The deal addresses a historically contentious issue that has strained relations between the neighbors for decades. The agreement signifies a step toward reconciliation, while both countries seek to strengthen their alliance amid the ongoing conflict with Russia.

    >Tusk, in office for over a year, is under domestic pressure to demonstrate progress on key issues as his government holds the EU’s rotating presidency. This is especially critical with a presidential election in May, where his party’s candidate is expected to face stiff competition from a nationalist opposition contender.

    >A pro-EU centrist, Tusk has been working to promote an inclusive vision of patriotism, aiming to counter nationalist conservatives who position themselves as the primary defenders of Poland’s interests. His ability to balance EU priorities with domestic concerns will likely influence both his leadership and the upcoming election.
