Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has issued a warning that Europe is currently in a “pre-war era” and emphasized the urgent need to address the threat posed by Russia. Tusk highlighted that since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, European leaders have become increasingly concerned about the potential spillover of the conflict to neighboring countries. Countries like Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Lithuania, and Moldova have taken significant steps to strengthen their defense capabilities in response to this escalating situation. Tusk stressed the importance of Europe achieving independence and self-sufficiency in defense while maintaining a robust alliance with the United States. Additionally, Tusk raised concerns that Russian President Vladimir Putin could exploit recent terrorist attacks to further escalate the war in Ukraine.
