Joint Response to Security Threats
During a press conference following the meetings. Both leaders emphasized the importance of coordinating pair-wise with their countries to address security threats from Russia. Tusk indicated that older nations like Poland and Lithuania are the most exposed to the provocation of Russia and stated that close work on security matters is a necessity.

The meetings took place less than a month after a major violation by Russian drones of Polish airspace, involving approximately twenty Russian drones, and merely weeks after unidentified drones were circling over Vilnius airport. In September, NATO jets had intercepted five Russian military aircraft which were flying very close to Lithuanian airspace.

Ruginienė and Tusk reasserted their commitment to Ukraine. Notably, neither leader made any statement favouring any peace settlements with Ukraine, only if Russia withdraws its military with a vague reference to terms of victory, but in turn reiterated that both countries will take every step militarily, financially or diplomatically possible to ensure Ukraine wins on its own terms.

Cooperation on Border and Migration Issues
According to Tusk, another relationship development that came out of the meeting was that illegal migration was among the top concerns. Tusk explained that both governments are determined to mitigate the ongoing migration problems at their border with Belarus, indicating that Belarus is a cooperating part in a hybrid war with Russia, and that Belarus poses a hybrid civilian threat against their borders.

Recently, Poland reintroduced border control with Lithuania to allow both countries to manage the current situation better. Tusk verified both countries would continue to work, mutually, to expel illegal migrants and enforce regional stability.

Strengthening Bilateral Relations
Both leaders emphasized the historical connections and mutual geopolitical interests in their countries. Ruginienė referred to Poland as a strategic partner "with whom we can do everything together," and endorsed a joint meeting of both governments and an enriched mutual agreement.

Tusk shared this position and stated that Poland and Lithuania are closely related as they pose a threat to the region and are proponents of European unity.
