Tusk said, "In reality, no one knows whether Russia will accept the first offer... or if it will continue imposing conditions that are unacceptable to other partners."

He made these remarks to journalists after returning from Ankara, where he met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. The two leaders discussed whether Turkey would be involved in any future security guarantees for Ukraine.

Tusk continued:

"After the talks in Saudi Arabia, it is now clear not only who is the aggressor and who is the victim, but also who genuinely wants a ceasefire and peace, and who wants the war to continue."

However, he expressed hope that the diplomatic efforts of the US, Ukraine, and Europe would lead to an end to the war.

Tusk also commented on Polish President Andrzej Duda's public statements regarding the call for the US to transfer nuclear weapons to Polish territory as a deterrent.

In an interview with the Financial Times, Duda stated, "NATO's borders moved east in 1999, so after 26 years, NATO infrastructure should also move eastward. I believe this is clear."

Tusk expressed doubts about the effectiveness of such appeals made through the media and emphasized that such initiatives should only be undertaken when there is confidence that they will be heard and taken seriously.

When asked whether Duda had consulted the government before making this proposal, Tusk declined to comment further.
