First Carpathian Summit: Eight Countries, Including Poland, Display Solidarity Against Russia
Gathered under a new regional format called the "C8," Ukraine and seven other Central and Eastern European countries affirmed their unity in the face of Russian threats, according to Le Monde.
A first "Carpathian Summit" was held, bringing together eight Central and Eastern European countries, including Ukraine and Poland, in a context marked by Russia's war in Ukraine, Le Monde reported in its September 18 edition.
This new regional format, designated as the "C8," comprises Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Austria, and Hungary, the newspaper specifies.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk emphasized the importance of this cooperation. "Our solidarity, both at the regional and European level, is more important than ever," he declared, according to Le Monde. He added that it was now "clear" that "the Russian threat (…) is a threat to all of us."
The newspaper does not specify, in the available excerpt, the other issues addressed during this meeting or the concrete decisions that may have resulted from it.
