Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk drew the allies’ attention to the fact that NATO was created to defend the West from the threat of the Soviet regime, that is, from Russia.
He posted his reply on X.
Context of the statement and allies’ reaction
I want to remind our allies that NATO was created to defend the West from Soviet aggression, that is, from Russia
– Donald Tusk
According to him, NATO’s foundation lies in mutual solidarity, not in its selfish interests.
I hope that nothing has changed
– Donald Tusk
The topic of defense cooperation among member states and the role of allies in ensuring security on the continent remains relevant.
Tusk stressed that Russia cannot dictate its terms to Ukraine or Europe, and decisions about Poland must be made within the country.
Such statements add context to discussions about NATO unity and stability in Europe.
