Excellent talk with PM @donaldtusk. Lithuania and Poland are on the same page on most important issues. Our focus is on defence & security, strenthening resilience, support for Ukraine, and even closer bilateral cooperation. Outcome of Russia's war against Ukraine will echo for decades - we must ensure that any peace isn't just a pause before another assault on Europe.
