Poland issues an ultimatum to the European Union and Russia

A political drama has unfolded over the last 24 hours regarding the future of dialogue with Russia, after Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk declared that Warsaw demands direct participation in any future negotiations with Moscow. As reported by Реальна Війна, which is identified with clear pro-Ukrainian positions, Tusk clarified that without Polish representation at the discussion table, his country will not consider itself bound by any agreement signed.

The message, which was repeated in dozens of Telegram channels, was also highlighted in ЦАПЛІЄНКО_UKRAINE FIGHTS, where the demand was described as an "unexpected ultimatum." Sources like 24 Канал noted that this is a demand by Warsaw to prevent a situation where the major powers of the European Union (such as France or Germany) make fateful security decisions without full coordination with Poland.

On the other hand, a tone of criticism arose in the Дозвольте доповісти channel, which presents a skeptical and even hostile position toward the move. The channel defined Tusk's conduct as "open blackmail" and wondered why Poland, and not other influential European countries, demands a permanent seat at the negotiation table, while also linking the tension to internal political decisions regarding state decorations awarded to President Zelensky.

At the same time, Новини Еспресо.TV reported on a meeting in Brussels between President Zelensky and Prime Minister Tusk, where the two discussed strengthening security coordination and Ukraine's European integration. Despite the political disagreements surrounding negotiations with Russia, the general framework of relations between Kyiv and Warsaw remains focused on the need for "unity in the face of Russian aggression."
