“What Russian troops and Russian aviation are doing on Ukrainian territory has signs of genocide as well as inhuman crimes. Therefore, Ukraine has the right to wage war in such a way as to paralyse Russia in its aggressive intentions as effectively as possible,” he added.

The Prime Minister of Poland added that his government is in constant contact with the Ukrainian side, but “there are no consultations, such as someone in Kyiv coordinating with me on what day, where, and who will go”.

“We support Ukraine in this defensive war,” Tusk stressed.
