We must not allow Ukraine to be left alone with the aggressor --- Tusk
Poland and the entire free world must learn the lessons of the outbreak of World War II and ensure that the victim of aggression — Ukraine — is never left alone. Otherwise, the threat could directly affect Poland and other European countries tomorrow.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk spoke at commemorative events in Gdańsk marking the 87th anniversary of World War II's start, according to Ukrinform. Tusk stressed that the lesson of Westerplatte is that the victim of aggression must never be left alone, calling for solidarity and the free world's willingness to confront aggression together.
He warned that evil has returned to Europe's borders, as people, including children, continue to die in Ukraine's war against Russia. Tusk urged Western nations to aid Ukraine in defending itself against Russia, emphasizing that repeating past mistakes like the 1938 Munich Agreement, which led to World War II, is unacceptable. He drew parallels between the Polish troops at Westerplatte in 1939 and Ukraine's current situation, stating that the coming months could be decisive for Ukraine's independence and the security of Poland and the entire free world.
Tusk reiterated the need for NATO to become more than just an alliance on paper and for Europe and the United States to show genuine solidarity against threats. He highlighted Russia's hybrid activities in Europe, including sabotage and provocations in several countries, and urged all nations to recognize the common nature of this threat, stating that no one should be left alone in the face of evil.
Tusk also emphasized that Poland must rely on its military heroism, alliances, and societal resilience to withstand the challenges ahead.
