As he noted, he had already exchanged information on this subject with the Prime Minister Donald Tusk. – It is very good that the German Chancellor almost immediately reported this conversation to the Polish Prime Minister and – from what the German Chancellor says – it follows that he presented something that Poland agrees with. Namely, that no decisions can be made regarding Ukraine without Ukraine, Sikorski said.
