The Polish prime minister, Donald Tusk, just told reporters that he spoke with the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, this morning and believes that the Russian invasion of Ukraine could soon be “frozen”.

“There are certain signals, I also have an intuition – that perhaps a freezing of the conflict – I don’t want to say the end of the war, but a freezing of the conflict – could happen sooner rather than later.”

He added:

“There is hope for this. Today is the deadline for the ultimatum. President Zelenskyy is very cautious, but still optimistic.

The Ukrainian side is very keen for Europe, including Poland, to take part in shaping this future ceasefire and, later, peace. We are also very keen on this, so that peace can prevail in our region, because that would also have a very positive impact on our security.”
