“I know it sounds devastating, especially for the younger generation, but we have to get used to the fact that a new era has begun: the pre-war period. I’m not exaggerating; it’s becoming clearer every day,” he said in an interview with the “World”. “I don’t want to scare anyone, but war is no longer a concept from the past. It is real, and it started over two years ago.”
What’s most concerning right now is that literally any scenario is possible, Tusk said. “We have not experienced a situation like this since 1945.” Tusk warned against an escalation of the war in Ukraine using the pretext of the recent terrorist attack in Moscow, in which Kremlin leader Putin had already made allegations about Ukraine’s involvement. The 66-year-old explained that the Russian cruise missiles that had penetrated Polish airspace were also worrying. Poland had already begun preparations for war with Russia. The Polish head of government spoke out in favor of more defense spending: “We have to be ready. Europe still has a long way to go.”
