Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has expressed skepticism regarding a near-term peace settlement in Ukraine, stating a cease-fire is “little likely” due to Russia’s stance. To bolster regional security, Poland announced plans to host joint military exercises with French and British forces in the autumn.

Relations between Poland and Ukraine have since faced internal strain. Polish officials have identified a “very dangerous situation” regarding rising anti-Ukrainian sentiment within Poland, prompting instructions for special services to monitor nationality-based aggression. Additionally, Polish leadership has noted a perceived radicalization in Kyiv, with Tusk reportedly advising President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that there are “some boundaries” regarding Ukrainian media disinformation targeting Poland.
