At Warsaw Security Forum, Poland’s Tusk raises alarm over ‘real threat’ from Russia

WARSAW — The prime minister of Poland today used his keynote address at a security conference here to attempt to rally Europe to do more to combat what he said was the “real threat” from Russia.

“No one wants escalation or war. We all dream of peace,” Donald Tusk said to an audience of European political, military and defense industry figures. “The path to peace does not lie through weakness. The path to peace lies in stopping the aggressor with all available means and forces.”

Tusk said Russia would “not stop” with Ukraine and, given the chance, would seek to “reshape Poland’s security architecture” in a bid to “dismantle the security architecture in Europe so that Russian dominance returns to the state it was before 1989. We have no doubt about this.”

Tusk said a new NATO “theory of victory,” revealed in a separate speech today by Supreme Allied Commander Europe Gen. Alexus Grynkewich left him “filled with optimism.”

In Grynkewich, he said, he “had a partner who also harbors no illusions, no miconceptions, regarding Russia’s intentions toward Ukraine, as well as toward Europe and the entire world.”

The prime minister said he was traveling to Brussels to call on Europe to increase pressure on Europe and toughen sanctions targeting Moscow.

“Ukraine will not be broken or intimidated. Poland will not be broken or intimidated. Europe, NATO, and the entire free world will not be broken or intimidated. That message must go out today from every capital—from Warsaw to Washington,” concluded Tusk.

Immediately following Tusk’s address, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy issued his own virtual address to the audience, saying that Moscow had launched attacks on Ukrainian cities despite US President Donald Trump’s claim that both sides had agreed not to strike energy targets.

“If Russia wants us to stop our long-range strikes against its oil refineries and oil exports, then Russia must stop its strikes against our energy system and critical infrastructure and stop killing our people,” he said.

Zelenskyy also claimed that recent Ukrainian strikes on Russian data centers had diminished the amount of disinformation online — suggesting the centers had been used by Russian online provocateurs.

A day after Trump announced a controversial oil deal with Russia, Zelenskyy implored the US to not give “concessions” but instead put “real pressure” on Moscow.

To Poland, Zelenskyy said Warsaw and Kyiv were “natural allies.”

“And when we stand together, Russia has no chance,” he said. “We need to end Russia’s war. We need to guarantee security. We need to stand together, Europe and the United States.”

华沙——波兰总理今天在华沙举行的安全会议上发表主旨演讲，试图号召欧洲采取更多措施来应对他所说的来自俄罗斯的“真正威胁”。

“没有人希望局势升级或战争爆发。我们都渴望和平，”唐纳德·图斯克对一群欧洲政界、军界和国防工业界人士说道。“通往和平的道路并非软弱可言。通往和平的道路在于动用一切可用手段和力量阻止侵略者。”

图斯克表示，俄罗斯不会止步于乌克兰，如果有机会，俄罗斯将寻求“重塑波兰的安全架构”，以“瓦解欧洲的安全架构，使俄罗斯的统治地位恢复到1989年之前的状态。对此我们毫不怀疑。”

图斯克表示，北约欧洲盟军最高司令亚历克西斯·格林克维奇将军今天在另一次讲话中揭示了一种新的北约“胜利理论”，这让他“充满乐观”。

他说，格林克维奇“是一位同样对俄罗斯对乌克兰、对欧洲乃至全世界的意图没有任何幻想和误解的合作伙伴”。

首相表示，他将前往布鲁塞尔，呼吁欧洲加大对欧洲的压力，并加强对莫斯科的制裁。

“乌克兰不会被击垮或恐吓。波兰不会被击垮或恐吓。欧洲、北约以及整个自由世界都不会被击垮或恐吓。今天，从华沙到华盛顿，每个国家的首都都必须发出这样的信息，”图斯克总结道。

图斯克发表讲话后，乌克兰总统泽连斯基立即向听众发表了视频讲话，称尽管美国总统特朗普声称双方已同意不打击能源目标，但莫斯科还是对乌克兰城市发动了袭击。

他说：“如果俄罗斯希望我们停止对其炼油厂和石油出口的远程打击，那么俄罗斯就必须停止对我们的能源系统和关键基础设施的打击，并停止杀害我们的人民。”

泽连斯基还声称，乌克兰最近对俄罗斯数据中心的袭击减少了网络上的虚假信息数量——这表明这些数据中心曾被俄罗斯网络挑衅者利用。

在特朗普宣布与俄罗斯达成一项备受争议的石油协议的第二天，泽连斯基恳求美国不要做出“让步”，而是对莫斯科施加“真正的压力”。

泽连斯基表示，华沙和基辅是波兰的“天然盟友”。

“只要我们团结起来，俄罗斯就毫无胜算，”他说。“我们需要结束俄罗斯的战争。我们需要保障安全。欧洲和美国需要团结起来。”
