Tusk shared a photo from the meeting on the X platform, affirming,
“Together with Rishi Sunak and Jens Stoltenberg, we confirm that security is a priority for Europe today.”
According to a statement from the British government on Monday, the UK Prime Minister unveiled a
new military aid package for Ukraine worth £500 million.This marks the largest individual British contribution to Ukraine’s aid.
The additional funds are earmarked to boost British military assistance to Ukraine to
£3 billion in the current financial year, aiming to swiftly deliver crucial ammunition, air defense systems, drones, and engineering support.
Investing in Poland
In addition, to stimulate trade and support British companies eyeing investments in Poland, the British government leader is poised to announce a tripling of funds available under the UK Export Finance, the British export support mechanism, from £5 million
to £15 million.
Prime Minister Tusk, in anticipation of the visit by the NATO Secretary General and Prime Minister Sunak, emphasized that this aligns with his ongoing efforts to fortify Poland’s stance in security policy matters. “It is crucial to me that our allies, particularly those with whom we have close cooperation,
such as the British, Scandinavians, and regional countries, see increasingly coordinated collaboration,” he underscored.
He further highlighted the significance of initiatives like the
“iron dome,” which necessitates significant and swift coordination efforts to align at times conflicting business or political interests among various nations.
“Certainly, safeguarding Poland’s security remains my top priority,” Tusk affirmed.
Also on Tuesday, in the 1st Armored Brigade, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defense Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz will meet with Grant Shapps, the Secretary of Defense of the United Kingdom. They are expected to discuss the
current international situation, military cooperation, and strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities.
