Russia will stay a challenge for the coming years, even a threat to countries and regions – including Poland. This is the diagnosis made by the United States and another NATO countries," said Prime Minister Donald Tusk during the conference in Bydgoszcz. The head of government, along with Deputy Minister of defence Cezary Tomczyk, visited Nitro-Chem plants, where he announced a crucial increase in ammunition production.

The Russian-Ukrainian war cannot benefit Russia simply due to the fact that it is an aggressor," the Prime Minister stressed. "Russian authorities must be aware that the West, including European countries, will not accept the conditions of occupying Ukraine's territories. I am talking about this not only due to the request to support Ukraine, but above all in the interests of Poland's security," he pointed out.

Russian threat? “Like a pea against a wall”

In 2014 or 2015, I told our European and Natian partners: halt imagining that Russia will be a strategical partner. She will always be a strategical problem, not a partner for Europe," he added.

It is in Bydgoszcz that beats the heart of this process. This is where a immense condition of the explosives for NATO comes from.. This is where the safety of the Alliance and Europe are resolved," he said.
