Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said he is “more cautious than optimistic” after Russia’s response to recent talks in Berlin, describing Moscow’s reaction as “not encouraging.”
Speaking after consultations among European, US and Ukrainian officials, Tusk said expectations for progress toward peace should remain restrained, despite intensified diplomatic efforts. His remarks underline growing uncertainty among European leaders about Russia’s willingness to engage constructively in negotiations.
The Berlin talks focused on potential security guarantees for Ukraine and the broader framework for any future peace arrangement. While discussions have been described as serious and focused, concrete outcomes remain unclear.
