Negotiations over the war in Ukraine could start ‘in the winter,’ Poland’s leader Tusk says

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk says negotiations over the war in neighboring Ukraine could start “in the winter” as his country prepares to take over the rotating presidency of the European Union on Jan. 1. He told his Cabinet on Tuesday that Poland’s EU presidency will have some responsibility for the political landscape “during the negotiations that perhaps … will begin in the winter of this year.” Poland has been one of Ukraine’s strongest backers against Russia’s full-scale invasion that began in February 2022.
