The new Prime Minister of Poland will help Ukraine from Day One!

8. Poland's been a stalwart ally of Ukraine.

There have been hiccups like disputes over favoured status for Ukraine in trade in agricultural goods and the border truck blockade (which Tusk has pledged to tackle as a priority), but in general it's been extremely generous and made moves to supply arms at strategic times which have shifted some of the logjams despite the political makeup of the previous administration.

Tusk is an incredibly experienced politician whose time as an officeholder within the EU and the contacts he's built up make him well placed to kick some ass if necessary in effective ways. I look forward to seeing him in action.
