MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned that there was a "real" threat of conflict in Europe and that the continent has entered a "pre-war era" for the first time since World War II.
World War II ended in 1945 with the surrender of Hitler's Germany and the US bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The former European Council president's comments came soon after the two-year anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The war upended an era of peace in Europe and pushed nations into ramping up weapons production.
The Polish prime minister noted a revolution in European mentality, as no one anymore questions the need for a common defense.
The need for a stronger Europe has come further into the spotlight as former US President Donald Trump, who is running for the 2024 elections, has openly expressed NATO-sceptic views.
