Poland Likely To Sign Security Deal With Ukraine Before NATO Summit, Says Tusk

Poland will almost certainly sign a bilateral security agreement with Ukraine before July's NATO summit in Washington, the Polish prime minister said on June 28. A day earlier, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that before the NATO summit in Washington, which starts on July 9, talks will be held in Warsaw with the president of Ukraine. "I must, together with the defense minister, determine how we can continue to help Ukraine, but we cannot weaken Poland's defense capabilities," Tusk told reporters. "There is a 99 percent chance that we will sign this agreement with [Ukrainian] President [Volodymyr] Zelenskiy (before the summit)."
