WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland’s new Prime Minister Donald Tusk says his government will work to mobilize the world to continue its commitment to helping Ukraine. Tusk said in his inaugural speech to parliament that it hurts him to hear that Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has to keep trying to persuade world leaders about the need to continue supporting Kyiv’s struggle against Russian aggression. Tusk said it will be a priority for his coalition government to persuade leaders that they need to continue to help Ukraine defend itself, and that that is also in the interests of the free world. He said he would “loudly and decisively demand the full mobilization of the free world, the Western world, to help Ukraine in this war.”
