Peace talks on the war in Ukraine could begin this winter, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said, as he outlined a series of meetings planned as Warsaw seeks to play a leading role in ending the conflict, A2 CNN reports. Poland has been one of Kiev's staunchest supporters since Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Warsaw would be heavily involved in any talks when he takes over the next presidency of the European Union on January 1. "I will have a series of talks regarding the situation across our eastern border," Tusk told a government meeting. "As you can imagine, our delegation will be jointly responsible for, among other things, what the political calendar will be like." , maybe how the situation will be during the negotiations, which, although there are still question marks, can start in the winter of this year", he said.
Tusk said French President Emmanuel Macron will visit Warsaw on Thursday to provide an overview of talks with US President-elect Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in Paris last weekend.
For its part, the Kremlin has announced that the war in Ukraine will continue until the goals set by President Vladimir Putin are achieved through military action or negotiations. Putin has demanded that Ukraine abandon its ambition to join NATO and withdraw completely from four regions of the country that Russia has claimed as its own - terms that Kiev has dismissed as tantamount to delivery.
"The special military operation will end when all the objectives set by the president and the commander-in-chief have been achieved," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters, using Moscow's term for the conflict. (A2 Televizion)
