Tusk Vows to Fast-Track Ukraine’s EU Membership Bid
During Poland’s EU presidency, Prime Minister Tusk pledged to prioritize Ukraine’s EU membership bid, leveraging Poland’s influence to advance Kyiv’s application. This commitment reflects Poland’s strong support for Ukraine amid the ongoing war with Russia and aims to accelerate Ukraine’s integration into the EU. The move follows a recent agreement between Poland and Ukraine resolving a long-standing historical dispute over WWII-era massacres, further solidifying their alliance. Tusk’s actions are also influenced by domestic political pressures, as he seeks to balance EU priorities with upcoming national elections.
