Evacuation of border crossings
Around noon, Prime Minister Donald Tusk provided information about the evacuation of two border crossings. The reason was the Russian attacks.
The head of the Polish government spoke about it at a conference after a meeting with the Prime Minister of Bulgaria, Rumen Radev.
This is a real drama of today, because it is not the first time that when I talk to one of our partners here in Warsaw and talk about how aggressive Russia's behavior is and what a problem it also creates for Poland, it is precisely at this time that the Russians decide to prove it. When we were just talking, Ukraine was attacked again near the border with Poland and we had to evacuate the border crossings in Hrubieszów and Dorohusk again - said Donald Tusk.
You can guess what losses and nerves this causes. This situation forces us to act very consistently here in Poland, cooperate with Ukraine, but also warn Europe and European partners that these times are really difficult and that we need to prepare well for the coming weeks and months. Autumn and winter may be truly critical, the Prime Minister warned once again.
