Poland's PM calls for stronger EU unity and defense: ‘Otherwise, we are finished’

Prime Minister of Poland Donald Tusk has called on EU countries to “stay united like never before." He said the EU states must continue to arm themselves. 

“No-one will take seriously a weak and divided Europe: neither enemy nor ally,” he said on X. “It is already clear now. We must finally believe in our own strength, we must continue to arm ourselves, we must stay united like never before. One for all, and all for one. Otherwise, we are finished.”
