Tusk emphasized the need to respond to an aggressive Russia and stressed that Europe must prioritize its own security. He highlighted Poland's leading role in NATO defense spending, reaching 4.12% of GDP, and called for EU unity and self-reliance. The call comes amid heightened tensions due to Russia's war in Ukraine and NATO's efforts to strengthen its eastern flank.
