— As you know, Poland makes a major contribution to security. In doing so, we use EU instruments – said Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk on Tuesday at the summit of NATO's eastern flank countries.
The Prime Minister also talked about guaranteeing financing for NATO's Eastern Shield and the Baltic Defense Line. – Today we can probably announce with satisfaction that Europe has finally understood that protecting the eastern border is a shared responsibility. This is not the responsibility of Poland, Finland or Lithuania alone, he emphasized.
– This is a common European task and common European responsibility. We are ready to lead the coalition of NATO's eastern flank together with Finland, added Donald Tusk.
