"I want to wake up those who are living under illusions. Russia is preparing for further acts of aggression," said Prime Minister Donald Tusk following the informal European Council meeting in Cyprus. That is why the shared responsibility of European states and NATO is so critical. America's call for Europe to shoulder the burden of defence is being taken very seriously. "Poland is doing this and is setting an example for European partners, but I want to make sure that all of us will be ready to respond if needed," the Prime Minister added. EU member states unanimously agreed to unlock a €90 billion loan for Ukraine and to adopt the 20th package of sanctions against Russia. Both issues had previously been blocked by the government of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. Talks also covered European security, NATO, energy, and SAFE programme funds for Poland.

The first Polish-French intergovernmental summit took place in Gdańsk, co-chaired by Prime Minister Donald Tusk and President Emmanuel Macron. "We have elevated our relations to the highest level," the Prime Minister assessed. In difficult geopolitical times, predictability, loyalty, and solidarity between states take on particular importance. That is why the stability of Polish-French relations and their tangible outcomes matter. Poland and France cooperate in areas including energy, security, defence, and the space sector. France is also one of Poland's key partners in the context of protecting the eastern border and supporting Ukraine. The meeting of the two governments in Gdańsk is part of the implementation of the Treaty on Enhanced Cooperation and Friendship between Warsaw and Paris, signed on 9 May 2025 in Nancy. 20 April has been established as Polish-French Friendship Day.

Warsaw and Tokyo have elevated their relationship to the highest level, a comprehensive strategic partnership. "We will do everything possible to facilitate cooperation and the operations of Polish companies in Japan and Japanese companies in Poland. Our countries are capable of a great story," said Prime Minister Donald Tusk during his visit to Tokyo. By joining the ranks of the world's wealthiest economies, Poland is cementing its position as an equal partner for Japan. In this way, the aspirations of many generations of Poles, for whom the Land of the Rising Sun has been a symbol of success and modernity, are finally being fulfilled. Warsaw and Tokyo also point to the growing importance of geopolitical cooperation: both states are to play a stabilising role in their regions and in the world.

"Our countries have been building a special relationship for many years, both in the economic and geopolitical spheres," said Prime Minister Donald Tusk during his visit to South Korea. Warsaw and Seoul have decided to elevate the status of their relations to a comprehensive strategic partnership. South Korea is the largest Asian investor in Poland. A key element of this relationship is cooperation in the defence industry, which Poland intends to develop with a focus on technology transfer, the Polonisation of acquired weaponry, and the relocation of part of production to Poland. Strategic cooperation will also be strengthened in the areas of digitalisation, artificial intelligence, semiconductors, space exploration, energy, infrastructure, and transport. The Polish Prime Minister's visit to South Korea is the first of its kind in 27 years.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk congratulated the leader of the Hungarian opposition, Péter Magyar, on his electoral victory. "I am glad that this part of Europe is showing that we are not condemned to authoritarian rule," said the Prime Minister. Péter Magyar has named Warsaw as the destination for his first foreign visit. Relations between Poland and Hungary will be developed on a strategic level.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk met in Warsaw with Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin. "Between Poland and Ireland there is no conflict of interests or divergence on any of the most important issues," said the Prime Minister. Warsaw and Dublin are cooperating above all in the area of security. Both countries share the same assessment of the situation on Poland's eastern border and unequivocally condemn Russian aggression against Ukraine. This demonstrates that security is a common European concern, regardless of geographical location. Poland and Ireland will also work within the EU to bring down energy prices, so that they do not pose a threat to the competitiveness of the European economy.

"I am glad that everyone is beginning to understand that Poland is a loyal, responsible, but also demanding partner," said Prime Minister Donald Tusk at the signing ceremony for offset agreements between Military Aviation Works No. 1 and Lockheed Martin. Through the investment in AH-64E Apache Guardian helicopters, Poland will become the country with the largest number of these aircraft after the United States, and a state-of-the-art service centre worth hundreds of millions of dollars will be built for them in Łódź. The contract is the result of tough negotiations conducted by the government in the interest of national security, and of the consistent strengthening of the country's defence capabilities while respecting commitments to allies.

A political breakthrough in Brussels on the EU Emissions Trading System, ETS. "Poland is to receive financial assistance from the ETS mechanism, under which proceeds from a portion of emission allowances will be transferred to less wealthy member states that bear the heaviest energy cost burden," said Prime Minister Donald Tusk following the European Council meeting. EU leaders also backed Poland's call to shift the philosophy of the ETS towards greater flexibility for member states. A multi-year extension of free allowances for energy-intensive industries was also agreed. The success on ETS was made possible in part through cooperation between Poland and Italy. The Prime Minister reiterated that Poland should not become involved in the war in Iran.

"We share a common perspective with the Netherlands. Not only common interests and common views on most issues concerning the situation in Europe and the world, but also joint actions. Actions mean a thousand times more than political declarations” - said Prime Minister Donald Tusk after a meeting with the new head of the Dutch government, Rob Jetten. It was Dutch F-35 fighter jets that reacted quickly when Russian drones violated Polish airspace in September 2025. The Prime Minister emphasized that cooperation between the two countries in the field of defense will be further deepened. He also thanked the Netherlands for its presence and commitment to protecting NATO's eastern flank.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk took part in a meeting of the coordination team on the situation in the Middle East. "The team is conducting an assistance operation for all Poles who, due to the war, have become stranded in various parts of the region” - said the Prime Minister.T he situation on the ground is very difficult, but the government has decided to send an air transport to Oman in order to support people who require medical care due to their health condition. Whenever possible, healthy individuals who need assistance will also be transported. Additional aircraft are ready for use, but the conditions related to the war in the Middle East are dynamic and beyond the control of the Polish authorities. The Polish Armed Forces and the national carrier Polish Airlines LOT remain on full standby to assist Polish citizens.
