"No one will halt Putin with phone calls. The recent nighttime assault, one of the largest in this conflict, has demonstrated that diplomatic conversations cannot substitute for genuine support for Ukraine from the entire West," the politician stated.
According to Tusk, "the upcoming weeks will be critical" not just for the war itself, but also "for our future."
No-one will stop Putin with phone calls. The attack last night, one of the biggest in this war, has proved that telephone diplomacy cannot replace real support from the whole West for Ukraine. The next weeks will be decisive, not only for the war itself, but also for our future.
