**Really not sure what to make of Tusk’s claim. He could be appealing to the more domestic audience in Poland, Ukraine, EU? I don’t know?**

**Read what he said, link to source Including[ link to original Polish source](https://wiadomosci.onet.pl/swiat/szczyt-w-berlinie-w-sprawie-ukrainy-donald-tusk-zabral-glos/zfkl2wp?utm_source=www.rbc.ru_viasg_wiadomosci&utm_medium=referal&utm_campaign=leo_automatic&fbclid=IwY2xjawOt2ypleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFtNEJIWk5ZMlh4a0wyZWNIc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHsYP_RIGHiOEyrDjW9eZFkHMsZauFRiHxAFefobYejSe97vmi1X3zu1mFcuY_aem_wG0EisR8ezER4_BsXPmzFw)**

> Tusk stated that for the first time he heard from U.S. negotiators that the United States ***“will commit to providing Ukraine with security guarantees in such a way that the Russians will have no doubts that (in the event of a ceasefire violation — ed.) the U.S. response will be military.”***
> 
> According to him, **U.S. President’s special envoy Steve Witkoff “was unequivocal on this point.”**
> 
> **“It is a fact that for the first time it has become so clear that the Americans, Europeans, and Ukraine are on the same side,”** the Polish prime minister said.
> 
> The head of the Polish government also stressed that the only real chance to persuade Russia to engage in serious negotiations on ending the war, or “***at least on a ceasefire,”*** is the unity of the entire West.
> 
> ***“We need to remain allies together with the Americans and Ukrainians so that the Russians and Putin see that it is impossible to drive a wedge between these three sides,”*** he said.

**My feeling is this is not entirely accurate, but, don’t know.**
