Details: Tusk was speaking at the conference Road to Ukraine Recovery Conference – Security and Defence Dimension. The event launched preparations for the Ukraine Recovery Conference, which will take place in Gdańsk in June this year.

Quote: "I am proud that today I can open this new chapter in building Poland's security together with you, and I am proud that our partner in this project is the country with the greatest experience in what is deciding the fate of the skies today.

I am very pleased to announce today that Poland's plan to create a drone armada will also be supported by the technical ideas and drone expertise of our Ukrainian friends."

More details: Tusk pointed out that Ukraine had proved to be a partner for countries seeking to defend their airspace, recalling its assistance to Middle Eastern states.

Quote: "Here in Rzeszów, I want to emphasise very clearly that Polish-Ukrainian relations and relations between Europe and Ukraine are not one-way assistance to a country at war. We have succeeded – and Poland has succeeded because we were a leading country in this process – in building a model of partnership... in which Ukraine can also give something."

Background: On 27 April, Tusk met Ukrainian Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko in Rzeszów.
