Poland, Sweden have identical views of recent events says PM
Donald Tusk, the Polish prime minister, said after a meeting with his Swedish counterpart in Warsaw on Monday that Poland and Sweden share similar views on events which have occurred in recent months.
During a joint press conference with Ulf Kristersson, Tusk pointed to the long tradition of cooperation between both nations and mentioned that the two countries were joined not only by geography and their close proximity to the Baltic Sea, which he said was their common responsibility in the context of the region's security, but also by their views.
"We share exactly the same opinion about the Russian aggression in Ukraine, the need to help Ukraine, the need to maintain transatlantic ties... Europe, the United States and, more broadly, the entire North Atlantic Treaty Organization, must be united, act responsibly and work side by side," Tusk said. "There is no room here for any doubts or disloyalty."
"We've said for the longest time that there is a need to tighten defence and military cooperation in Europe and between all the member states, as well as bilaterally between Poland and Sweden," he added.
Tusk also noted that Poland and Sweden were "in the vanguard when it comes to involvement in assistance to Ukraine." (PAP)
