Poland's newly appointed prime minister, Donald Tusk, said on Tuesday his country will demand the full mobilisation of the West to help Ukraine, adding it will regain a leadership position in Europe and will be a strong part of NATO, APA reports citing Reuters.
Poland's parliament backed Tusk to become prime minister on Monday, ending eight years of nationalist rule and putting the country on track for a thawing of relations with the European Union.
Tusk, a former European Council president, will face a vote of confidence later on Tuesday.
"We will ... loudly and decisively demand the full mobilisation of the free world, the Western world, to help Ukraine in this war," Tusk said in parliament, presenting his government's plans.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is due to hold talks with U.S. leaders on Tuesday, making his case for more U.S. aid for Ukraine's war against Russia at a time of increasing doubts among many Republican lawmakers.
Tusk added Poland's eastern border would be secure and vowed to quickly solve issues related to a truckers' protest on several border crossings with Ukraine.
