A key meeting that resulted in one-to-one conversation and a signed agreement at the Prime Minister’s Office saw Prime Minister Donald Tusk and President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy concluding the Security Cooperation Agreement. This document reaffirms the joint commitment of both countries to strengthen their existing cooperation and partnership. “The signed agreement is all about actual commitments and guarantees - not just empty promises,” the Prime Minister noted.

The main issues tackled during the Polish-German intergovernmental consultations held at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister concerned security and military cooperation, combating irregular migration, as well as safeguarding the external border of the EU. The meeting was chaired by Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

The most recent Polish-German intergovernmental consultation took place six years ago.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk visited the logistics and service centre at Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport, a key hub in the process of providing aid to Ukraine in its fight against the Russian aggression.

The restored branches will start operations today, on 1 July 2024, following the decision to reinstate them, made by Prime Minister Donald Tusk in March 2024, following their closure ordered in 2017 by Prime Minister Beata Szydło.

During a European Council meeting on 27 June in Brussels, heads of states chose the representatives for the most important posts in the Community. Ursula von der Leyen will remain President of the European Commission. Kaja Kallas, Prime Minister of Estonia, will be in charge of diplomacy, while Antonio Costa, former Prime Minister of Portugal, will lead the European Council. This is the outcome of negotiations involving Prime Minister Donald Tusk and other politicians, which took place over the course of the past several weeks. During the summit, Poland managed to achieve its key objectives concerning defence and convinced its partners to support Polish initiatives on the joint defence of the European skies and eastern border of the European Union as part of the Shield East project.

The Central Communication Port project required many changes that made it more realistic. Prime Minister Donald Tusk outlined key assumptions of the development of Poland's communications network at a press conference on Wednesday. The project comprises three key elements, the implementation of which will result in the so-called triple jump. Firstly, Poland needs a high-speed rail network so that everyone can travel quickly between its major cities. Secondly, the country needs to develop its regional airports and ensure their accessibility to everyone. This part also takes into account the construction of the Baranów airport. The third element of this strategy envisages the development of LOT Polish Airlines. These comprise a three-pronged strategy.

“Your service is heroic,” said Prime Minister Donald Tusk during the event dedicated to the State Protection Service, a formation tasked with protecting the most important figures and institutions in Poland. The Prime Minister dedicated the newly adopted bill envisaging measures enabling more effective protection of the state and its borders against acts of aggression, which passed through the Council of Ministers today, to the service personnel.

Following his return from the informal European Council summit, at the Warsaw Airport, Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced that Poland will have a decisive vote on many matters currently considered important to the country, including defence, EU enlargement and neighbourhood, as these areas directly impact the security of our borders. The informal talks mainly concerned electing politicians to hold key functions within the EU. The Polish Prime Minister also spoke to the German Chancellor about the incident, where migrants were brought to Poland by German police. Such an event will never happen again.
