Sikorski said the Polish side had heard a briefing from Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha.
“We heard Minister Sybiha’s briefing. The situation is improving. We hope Putin will revise his calculations now that Ukraine has received additional resources from the European Union and weapons from the United States, paid for by Europe,” Sikorski said.
Poland’s top diplomat also thanked U.S. President Donald Trump and members of the U.S. administration for ensuring that the rotational presence of American troops in Poland “will be maintained more or less at the previous level.”
The war in Ukraine is at a decisive stage, Sybiha said at a meeting of the NATO-Ukraine Council in Helsingborg on May 22. He also urged allies to strengthen support for Ukraine and increase pressure on Russia.
Sybiha also stressed that NATO has grown stronger over the past year. Last year’s decision to raise military spending to 5% of GDP was a historic milestone, he said.
The United States and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte deserve credit for that decision, Sybiha added, saying their efforts “play a truly important role.”
