"War, a real threat and Europe is not ready", warns Tusk

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk made a direct warning this Friday that Europe has entered "a pre-war era" and if Ukraine is defeated by Russia, no one in Europe will be able to feel safe.

"I don't want to scare anyone, but the war is no longer a concept from the past," he told European media, adding: "It's real and it started over 2 years ago."

Tusk's comments come as Ukraine was attacked by a barrage of missiles from Russia. Throughout Friday night, the Ukrainian Air Force said it had shot down 58 drones and 26 missiles, while Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said infrastructure had been damaged in 6 regions, in the west, center and east of the country. The national energy company in Ukraine announced a total lack of power in three regions of the country, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kirovograd, and called on citizens to limit electricity consumption. The distributor, Ukrenergo, blamed the massive Russian attack on the power plant overnight.

Tusk, the former president of the European Council, said Russian President Vladimir Putin has blamed Ukraine for the jihadist attack in Moscow without any evidence and clearly feels the need to justify increasingly violent attacks on civilians in Ukraine. He noted that Russia had attacked Kiev with hypersonic missiles for the first time during the day earlier this week.

Tusk made a direct appeal to Europe's leaders to do more to strengthen their defenses. Regardless of whether Joe Biden or Donald Trump wins the November US presidential election, he underlined that Europe will become a more attractive partner for the US if it becomes stronger militarily. This is not the first time Tusk has warned of a pre-war era. Earlier this month he gave the same message to European centre-right leaders.

However, he revealed that Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez had asked European leaders not to use the word "war" in their summit statements because people did not want to feel threatened. Tusk said he replied that on his side of Europe, war was no longer an abstract idea.

Appealing for urgent military aid to Ukraine, he warned that the next two years of war will be decisive: "We are living in the most critical moment since the end of the Second World War." "What is most worrying at the moment is that any scenario is possible," Tusk said.
