Ukrainian military is best guarantee of Ukraine's security, says Polish foreign minister
Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski has emphasised that Ukraine's military is the strongest guarantee of the country's security once a ceasefire with Russia is reached.
Source: Sikorski in an interview with Polish TV channel TVN24, as reported by European Pravda
Details: Sikorski was commenting on the meeting of the leaders of the coalition of the willing held in Paris on Thursday. The coalition is considering the possible deployment of a deterrence force in Ukraine in the future. "Poland will be in this coalition, although not physically in Ukraine itself," Sikorski said.
"There are various echoes of these talks, both at the level of staff representatives in the UK and at the political level in Paris. These concepts are still being agreed upon," he said.
Meanwhile, Sikorski stated that "the biggest, best guarantee of Ukraine's security is the brave and well-equipped Ukrainian military".
"We have the largest army in Europe on our side... and it has experience in this new type of warfare involving millions of drones," he stressed.
Background:
Earlier, it was reported that France is considering the deployment of a European contingent in Ukraine, positioned away from the front line, with one potential location being along the Dnipro River in Ukraine's centre.
After the coalition of the willing summit on Thursday, French President Emmanuel Macron stated that forces from some EU member states could be deployed in "certain strategic locations" in Ukraine, though he emphasised that the concept for such a deployment is still being developed.

Lawmakers in France back bill to tackle fast fashion's environmental toll
The legislation targets the curtailment of fast fashion trends and aims to control the surge in market volumes and associated detrimental effects in France. The bill seeks to bolster awareness among consumers in France regarding the ecological consequences of fast fashion, while also promoting options for clothing reuse and repair. The proposal looks to broaden the scope for adjusting eco-contributions based on the ecological footprint of garments. It also includes provisions to ban advertisements from firms and products that are linked with fast fashion practices. A total of 337 senates voted in favour of the bill with only one dissenting vote on 10 June 2025. The bill was proposed by member of parliament Anne-Cecile Violland and several of her colleagues. It was passed by the National Assembly on 14 March last year. The Senate's Committee on Regional Planning and Sustainable Development examined the bill in the same month. The legislation is not yet finalised, as a joint committee of senate and national assembly members is scheduled to convene from September to create a unified version before the law's ultimate ratification. Notification to the European Commission is also required prior to the final endorsement to ensure compliance with EU regulations. Globally, the apparel industry sees over 100 billion pieces of clothing sold each year. France has experienced a significant increase in clothing sales over the past decade, with an additional one billion items pushing the annual total to 3.3 billion products, equating to more than 48 items per person. The textile and fashion sector is a major contributor to environmental concerns, accounting for roughly 10% of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions—surpassing the combined emissions from all international flights and maritime shipping. Facing this intense competition, France's traditional clothing industry is under pressure. In light of climate change commitments, there is a pressing need to revert to sustainable levels of production in the industry. The Textiles Industry Union in France labelled the bill "a first step" and expressed hope for its "rapid adoption," despite it not fully meeting their expectations. Following recommendations from the Committee on Regional Planning and Sustainable Development, the French Senate has refined the definition of fast fashion to legally solidify the framework. The amendments include promoting product repairability and specifying regulations for online marketplaces. The senate also aims to enhance consumer awareness messages by including information about the social impacts of products. To achieve these objectives, the senate has resolved to redirect funding towards recycling operations within France, rather than supporting collection and recycling infrastructure abroad. This move is intended to bolster domestic recycling capabilities. It also seeks to adopt a more balanced strategy that is less punitive regarding fast fashion advertising. This includes banning influencers from promoting fast-fashion items, as they are currently key marketing channels for such brands. Additionally, it mandates concise environmental impact disclosures in advertising content for fast-fashion products.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk defends his centrist government before a vote of confidence
WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Prime Minister Donald Tusk defended his centrist, pro-European government before parliament on Wednesday, seeking to reassert control and rally his fractured coalition after suffering a bitter political defeat. Tusk requested a vote of confidence in the wake of the June 1 loss of Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski — his close ally — to nationalist historian Karol Nawrocki. Backed by U.S. President Donald Trump, Nawrocki is set to replace outgoing President Andrzej Duda, another conservative who repeatedly blocked Tusk's reform efforts. 'I am asking for a vote of confidence with full conviction that we have a mandate to govern, to take full responsibility for what is happening in Poland,' Tusk said. Most of the power in Poland's parliamentary system rests with an elected parliament and a government chosen by the parliament. However, the president can veto legislation and represents the country abroad. 'Anyone who is ready to move forward with me, with the government, and above all with our voters, regardless of these momentary emotions, and build a better Poland, should vote today for a vote of confidence in our government,' Tusk said. The vote, scheduled for Wednesday afternoon, is widely expected to go in Tusk's favor. His four-party coalition holds a narrow but stable majority in the 460-seat Sejm, Poland's lower house. A loss would trigger the formation of a caretaker government and may open the door for an early parliamentary election. That could potentially returning power to the conservative Law and Justice party, in coalition with the far-right Confederation party, whose candidate placed third in the presidential race. Tusk had long counted on a Trzaskowski victory to break the institutional deadlock created by Duda's vetoes. Instead, he now faces an incoming president aligned with the nationalist opposition and openly hostile to his government's legislative priorities. 'We cannot close our eyes to reality,' he said. 'A president who was reluctant to accept the changes we proposed for Poland and our voters is being replaced by a president who is at least equally reluctant to those changes and proposals.' But he also argued that Trzaskowski's narrow defeat indicates that there is continued strong support for those who share his views. The election result has rattled the already uneasy governing coalition, which spans from center-left to center-right and has struggled to deliver on key campaign pledges, including liberalizing Poland's abortion law and legalizing same-sex civil unions. Tusk acknowledged the growing strains in Wednesday's address. Many are also blaming Tusk for contributing to Trzaskowski's loss. Much of the criticism has come from within his coalition, as his partners examine whether they are better off sticking with him or risking a collapse of the coalition. Some are calling for a new prime minister to be selected. There are questions about what Tusk can realistically achieve before the next parliamentary election, scheduled for late 2027, and whether the coalition will even survive that long amid a surge in popularity for the far right. Polish media and political analysts are debating whether this might be the 68-year-old Tusk's political twilight. 'I know the taste of victory, I know the bitterness of defeat, but I don't know the word surrender,' Tusk said. As part of his fresh start, he announced plans for a government reconstruction in July that will include 'new faces.' He said a government spokesman would be appointed in June — an acknowledgement that the coalition needs a way to present a unified message. So far Tusk has sought to communicate his policies to the public himself on social media and in news conferences. Tusk served as Polish prime minister from 2007 to 2014 and then as president of the European Council from 2014 to 2019. He became Poland's prime minister again in December 2023 in a country exhausted by the pandemic and inflation, and with political divisions deep and bitter. In a sign of those divisions, half of the parliament hall was empty on Wednesday, with lawmakers from the right-wing Law and Justice party boycotting his speech. Tusk said their absence showed disrespect to the nation. Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request. There was a problem with the recaptcha. Please try again.

Ukraine Reacts To US Slashing Aid For Kyiv
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Cuts to U.S. aid for Ukraine in the upcoming budget "will lead to more casualties" for Kyiv, a senior Ukrainian lawmaker has told Newsweek. His warning comes as spluttering ceasefire negotiations fail to yield significant progress toward a deal to end the fighting, and Russia keeps up its aerial bombardment of the war-torn country. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told U.S. lawmakers during a committee hearing on Tuesday that there will be a "reduction" in the next fiscal year's budget for aid heading for Ukraine. He did not specify what the cutbacks in the upcoming budget will be. Any cuts to military aid to Kyiv slashes at Ukraine's ability to defend itself and plays into Russia's hands, said Oleksandr Merezhko, the head of Ukraine's parliamentary foreign affairs committee. "Such a reduction will lead to more casualties on the Ukrainian side, including casualties among [the] civilian population," he said. "Anyone in the U.S. who is acting in support of the reduction of the military aid to Ukraine becomes morally responsible for the increased casualties among civilians," Merezhko said. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth testifies before the House Committee on Appropriations subcommittee oversight hearing on the Department of Defense, on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, June 10, 2025. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth testifies before the House Committee on Appropriations subcommittee oversight hearing on the Department of Defense, on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, June 10, 2025. AP Photo/Jose Luis Magana The U.S. under former President Joe Biden was the single-largest contributor of military support to Kyiv, pledging to support Ukraine for "as long as it takes." Washington has provided more than $66 billion in aid for Kyiv since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in early 2022, including use of existing U.S. military stocks. Ukraine On Shifting Sands Post-Biden "This administration takes a very different view of that conflict," Hegseth told lawmakers on Tuesday. President Donald Trump pledged to end the war in Ukraine in just 24 hours, but his senior officials have grappled with the slow pace of talks and threatened to walk away from negotiations if a deal remains elusive. The administration thawed relations with the Kremlin, largely refraining from heaping fierce criticism on Russia while publicly taking aim at Ukraine and its president, Volodymyr Zelensky. While Kyiv is no longer as dependent on Western aid as it was in the earlier stages of the conflict, the flow of supplies including ammunition, air defense systems and interceptor missiles is still crucial for Ukraine. Trump appeared to leverage Ukrainian officials to the negotiating table earlier this year by briefly cutting off military aid and U.S. intelligence. "We believe that a negotiated peaceful settlement is in the best interest of both parties and our nation's interests, especially with all the competing interests around the globe," Hegseth added. Peace Talks Flounder Two rounds of direct talks between Russian and Ukrainian delegations have yielded agreements on prisoners of war, but no discernible steps toward a ceasefire accord. It is too early to pencil in a third meeting, a spokesperson for Ukraine's foreign ministry said on Tuesday, adding there is "no pressure" on Russia to sign off on a deal. Kyiv agreed to a U.S. proposal for a full, 30-day ceasefire back in March. Moscow has not consented to this deal, despite repeated visits from Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, to Russia. Ukraine said Russia has not responded to a document outlining possible ceasefire conditions and the need for a face-to-face meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Zelensky. Russia's chief negotiator, Vladimir Medinsky, said Moscow had handed over its own document outlining road maps to stop the fighting, including a pause for up to 3 days on "certain sections of the front." Zelensky claimed Russian officials at the talks earlier this month admitted openly to Ukraine's delegation that they knew Kyiv could not accept Moscow's conditions. War Rages On As the talks rumble on, Russia has carried out intensive aerial strikes on Ukraine, firing ballistic missiles that are hard for Kyiv's exhausted air defenses to intercept, and launched waves of explosive drones toward the country's cities. Moscow has kept up the pressure on the hundreds of miles of front lines, advancing in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region toward bordering Dnipropetrovsk. The Kremlin has also inched closer to the northeastern Ukrainian city of Sumy, but took a significant hit to its long-range bomber fleet after Ukraine targeted multiple Russian bases with explosive drones at the start of June. Shrinking aid for Ukraine now will "embolden" Putin, said Oleksiy Goncharenko, a Ukrainian member of parliament for the southern Odesa region. "It's completely opposite to President Trump's intention to end the war," he told Newsweek. Hegseth did not attend a meeting of tens of defense chiefs gathered to coordinate support for Ukraine earlier this month, marking the first time the U.S. Defense Secretary has not appeared at the Ukraine Defense Contact Group. Hegseth's Strategic Pivot Hegseth on Tuesday reiterated the U.S.'s desire to pivot toward the Indo-Pacific to face the "pacing threat" of China, an intention the administration has long made clear. European countries allied with the U.S. have scrambled to conjure up commitments of increased defense spending, designed to rely less on American personnel and U.S.-supplied kit. Hegseth, during an address at a major defense forum in Singapore earlier this month, said China was "preparing to potentially use military force to alter the balance of power in the Indo-Pacific" and was gearing up for the "real deal" of an invasion push on Taiwan. Beijing considers Taiwan a breakaway part of mainland China that it intends to one day reunite under central control. But Taipei, which has established a democratic government, asserted its independence from Beijing and aligned itself with Western allies. China's Foreign Ministry denounced the speech as "filled with provocations and intended to sow division." "China deplores and firmly opposes them and has protested strongly to the U.S.," Beijing added.
