Russian escalation "before Christmas Eve". Tusk talked about the border and railway tracks

Prime Minister Tusk told journalists on Friday after the European Council summit that a uniform attitude prevailed during the talks in Brussels regarding supporting Kiev in the face of the change in the approach of the US administration led by President Donald Trump.

If Ukraine falls, we will all have very, very serious problems, Tusk noted. He also drew attention to the dramatic energy situation in Ukraine, which is struggling with a lack of electricity and gas problems.

Tusk: Even before Christmas Eve

During the briefing, he was also asked about the words of the former head of the National Security Bureau, Jacek Siewiera, who said that a "fundamental chord" in Russia's hybrid war against Europe should be expected this winter.

I don't play with "my predictions" or intuitions. For me, what is important is knowledge and specific messages about what to do and how to act - both from our, Ukrainian and allied special services. All this adds up to one obvious message: we can expect some escalation before Christmas Eve, said Prime Minister Tusk.

The Prime Minister pointed to the borders and railway tracks

He added that "winter will be very difficult, especially when it comes to borders, railway tracks - everything that can be used for transport on the Ukrainian side, including gas, oil and food."
