“For Poland, our European partners – and hopefully for the entire NATO alliance – it must be clear that national borders cannot be changed by force.”
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said this on Monday in the northern city of Bydgoszcz.
He added that any decisions on possible territorial swaps or other terms of a peace agreement should only be made with Ukraine’s participation.
Trump and Putin are due to meet on Friday in the U.S. state of Alaska to discuss a possible resolution to Russia’s war in Ukraine, now in its fourth year.
Trump has framed the meeting as an attempt to move closer to ending the fighting, and last week spoke of “swapping” portions of territory as part of a “very complicated” deal.
Poland, an EU and NATO member is one of Ukraine’s most important political and military allies.
The country, also a key logistics hub for Western military aid to Kiev and, feeling threatened by Russia itself, is undertaking a major military build-up. (dpa/NAN)
