Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk said he would host meetings with fellow world leaders to deliberate on how to approach growing tensions in Ukraine after President-elect Trump’s election win.
“There is no doubt that this new political landscape is a serious challenge for everyone, especially in the context of a possible end to the Russian-Ukrainian war as a result of an agreement between, for example, the president of Russia and the new president of the United States,” Tusk said, according to a Saturday report from Reuters.
“[…] In the coming days, we will very intensively coordinate cooperation with countries that have a very similar view on the geopolitical and transatlantic situation and situation in Ukraine,” he added.
Tusk is expected to sit down with France’s president, Emmanuel Macron, in addition to NATO secretary Mark Rutte and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
The scheduled meeting comes days after Trump’s victory. The former president has spoken out against the war in Ukraine and condemned the United States’ financial support of their military.
Many are unsure about how Trump’s plans to abruptly end the war will actualize. He has already started to have conversations with leaders like South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol by phone Thursday as reported by Bloomberg, after North Korean soldiers were tapped to aid Russia on the frontlines.
Tusk said he will also meet Nordic and Baltic leaders soon in Stockholm.
“Everything will, of course, be in the context of new challenges facing our homeland, the entire region, the European Union and the Western community,” he told Reuters.
