Poland's Tusk wants to exclude Nawrocki’s representatives from Ukraine talks — media

Gazeta Wyborcza reported the information.

The article reports that Tusk’s adviser will be Robert Kupiecki, Deputy Foreign Minister responsible for security and transatlantic relations.

Kupiecki is described as an experienced diplomat who served as Poland’s ambassador to the U.S. from 2008 to 2012 and later as Deputy Minister of National Defense.

The prime minister’s security adviser will monitor international developments and security threats to Warsaw and Europe, participate in meetings with key NATO officials on ending Russia’s war in Ukraine, and advocate Poland’s positions.

Gazeta Wyborcza notes that Tusk’s appointment of such an adviser is a preventive step against President Nawrocki’s office.

• On August 6, Karol Nawrocki was sworn in as President of Poland and delivered a speech outlining his plans in office.
• Tusk responded to the inaugural speech of new President Karol Nawrocki, saying it showed his desire to seize the powers of the government.
• On August 14, Donald Tusk and Karol Nawrocki held their first one-on-one meeting, which lasted about an hour, and they “fully agreed” on one thing.
