Prime Minister of Poland Donald Tusk plans to appoint his representative from the Ministry of Security to take control of negotiations regarding the war in Ukraine. As reported by Gazeta Wyborcza, his advisor will be Robert Kupec, who currently holds the position of Deputy Minister for Regional Affairs.
Kupec, an experienced diplomat, served as Poland's ambassador to the United States from 2008 to 2012, and after returning to Warsaw, became Deputy Minister of National Defense. His task will be to inform the Prime Minister about the international situation and security threats to Poland and Europe.
Kupec participates in important meetings with NATO representatives concerning the suspension or cessation of the war in Ukraine, representing Poland's position in these negotiations.
President Nawrocki's Initiative
The President of Poland, Karol Nawrocki, has initiated legislation that provides social assistance for unemployed Ukrainians. He emphasized that the 800+ program, which ensures financial support for families with children, should only apply to Ukrainians officially employed in Poland.
This program provides 800 zlotys (about 9,000 hryvnias) per child up to 18 years old. After the legislation is enacted, the Minister of Digitalization of Poland, Krzysztof Gawkowski, stated that Poland will no longer be able to fund Starlink terminals that were provided to Ukraine.
