WARSAW, Aug 13 (Reuters) – Russia wants to include the topic of a reduction of NATO troops presence in any conversations about the future of Ukraine, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk told reporters on Wednesday.

“That is why it is so important that we build such a strong and united group of states, both in relation to Russia, but also in relation to other allies, like the United States.”
