Tusk warned that Russia could attack a NATO member within months, urging clearer practical guarantees from the United States and allies.<\/p>\n
Poland\u2019s Prime Minister Donald Tusk expressed doubts about whether the United States is willing to guarantee Europe\u2019s defense in the event of Russia\u2019s aggression against a NATO member country. He voiced his position in a conversation with journalists, not naming a specific publication.<\/p>\n
According to Tusk, the most important question is whether the United States will be as loyal as laid out in NATO treaties, and he warned that Russia could attack a member of the Alliance in a few months.<\/p>\n
\u00abThe most important and crucial question for Europe is whether the United States is willing to be as loyal as described in our NATO treaties\u00bb, and he warned that Russia could attack a member of the Alliance \u00abin a few months\u00bb.<\/p>\n

\u00abFor the whole eastern flank, my neighbors\u2026 the question is whether NATO is still ready, politically and logistically, to respond, for example, against Russia if it tries to attack\u00bb, \u2013 he said.<\/p>\n

The prime minister also stressed that his remarks should not be understood as skepticism about Article 5, but rather as an attempt to emphasize the real practical context of NATO\u2019s guarantees.<\/p>\n
\u00abThis is something really serious. I am talking about short-term prospects, months, not years\u00bb, \u2013 said Tusk, referring to a potential Russian attack.<\/p>\n

He also added that for Warsaw it is important that all countries treat NATO commitments as seriously as Poland does.<\/p>\n
\u00abWashington treats Poland as its best and closest ally in Europe. But for me the real issue is what will happen in practice if something happens\u00bb<\/p>\n
\u2013 Donald Tusk<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to believe that Article 5 is still in force, but sometimes, of course, I have some concerns. I do not want to be so pessimistic\u2026 but today we also need a practical context,\u201d concluded the Polish prime minister.<\/p>\n
