Russian President Vladimir Putin plans to broaden the scope of upcoming talks with the U.S. beyond the war in Ukraine, Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk said.

Tusk told reporters that Moscow intends to raise the reduction of NATO troop presence in Europe, including in Poland, during planned U.S.-Russia talks in Alaska. He said European leaders have coordinated a common position ahead of the meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, reports Ukrinform.

Tusk said the West will not allow the Kremlin to dictate borders to neighboring states or win recognition of its occupation of Ukrainian territory. He stressed that international law has been blatantly violated and that any concessions to an aggressor would set a dangerous precedent.

The Polish leader added that the principle of “nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine” extends to the whole of Europe. He warned that Russia is trying to put broader regional security issues—not only Ukraine but also countries like Poland—on the negotiating table, a move that could result in fewer NATO forces and greater Russian influence in Eastern Europe.

Tusk urged Europe to maintain solidarity and act in lockstep with the United States on Russia. He noted that allies had expected new U.S. sanctions against Moscow after August 8, but instead a date for the Alaska meeting was announced.

“We would all like this meeting to exert the same pressure on Russia as sanctions,” Tusk said.

  1. All the fuckerZ with their idiotic drivel bear full responsibility for further loss of lives, together with Putin.

  2. I doubt it takes very long for Trump to offer sanctions relief for a ceasefire. I also doubt all these other issues on Vladolf’s foreign policy fantasy list will even come up.

      • And that’s about all he could get without Zelensky agreeing to anything so Vladolf should take it……but he won’t. It looks to me like Vladolf is hoping Trump will bail him out of his self-derived situation but in reality, there isn’t much that Trump could do even if he wanted to.

        • When it comes to sanctions, Europe holds the big ones. I just hope Trump isn’t going to concede a single thing until the war is ended, not just a ceasefire.

          • I think it would be impossible for the toilet thieves to sit on the front lines and not kill. Just like in the Donbas 2014 to 2022 for putler’s “frozen conflict”. So then the choices would be kill or go home and we both know the Siloviki will take out the tiny zit if he stops the killing. putler doesn’t have the cards…so it comes down to Trump’s resistance to KGB tactics after putler lies to his face.
