"Ukraine will win the war to a huge extent thanks to Polish and American soldiers and all those who organized the hub in Jasionka, which makes it possible to transfer aid to Ukraine," Tusk said on Monday.
During his visit to the Subcarpathian region, Tusk highlighted the strategic importance of the Jasionka hub. "You are doing a great thing. I am here today to remind all Poles and all of Europe that here in Rzeszow, thanks to you, it is possible to deliver aid to Ukraine in the safest possible way, extremely intensively every day," he stated.
Tusk emphasized the critical role of the Jasionka hub, describing it as one of the largest logistical and military operations in European history since World War II. "The fate of our homeland, the fate of Ukraine, the fate of Europe, and the entire free world, including the United States, to some extent depends on what you are doing here and how you are doing it," he declared.
