RMF FM<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAt a meeting with journalists on Friday, Tusk commented on the French idea of protecting Europe with France’s \u201cnuclear umbrella\u201d. The head of the Polish government said that Paris’ proposal is being studied in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tusk noted that although Emmanuel Macron’s idea of extending the French nuclear deterrent to European countries is being seriously considered, it also raises some doubts. The problem, according to Tusk, is who will have actual power over such weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf we decide on it (the French nuclear sharing program), we should be sure that it will be in our hands,\u201d Tusk emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, he noted, money is also important in the context of the French proposal. In the case of France, about 14 billion euros a year is spent on arsenal maintenance alone, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tusk also said that the Polish government is in contact with the Ukrainian side and is discussing which weapons work best in the current environment and which technologies are worth investing in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe see what has happened to Ukraine now. It became a victim of an attack because it got rid of its nuclear weapons\u2026 Today, we would be safer if we had our own nuclear arsenal. There is no doubt about it,\u201d Tusk said.
At the same time, he noted that the path to such a solution is \u201cvery long\u201d and will have to be reached \u201cby consensus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe will use our technological, scientific capabilities to do this in cooperation with others to start thinking in a very modern way. No option is closed,\u201d Tusk said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Wednesday, French President Macron said he was launching a \u201cstrategic debate\u201d on protecting European allies with France’s nuclear deterrent. Macron’s statement was a response to the cooling of transatlantic relations and the rapprochement between Washington and Moscow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
