The UK Prime Minister spoke with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk on the morning of 21 October 2026, according to a Downing Street press release. The two leaders began by condemning continued aggressive Russian attacks on Ukraine and agreed that NATO allies needed to keep pressure on Russia and step up support for Ukraine through the winter.

They also discussed the value of a stronger UK-EU relationship to both sides, as the UK Prime Minister looked ahead to the then-upcoming UK-EU summit. He outlined the challenges posed by Made in Europe and set out his ambitions for a closer trading partnership with the EU aimed at delivering growth in every postcode.

The statement said the two leaders looked forward to speaking again soon.
