Kosiniak-Kamysz became the Deputy Prime Minister and National Defense Minister of Poland after the new government of the Polish Prime Minister, Donald Tusk, took office on Dec. 13, 2023.

Tusk called on the West’s "full mobilization" for Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and promised to help resolve the on-going blockade of Polish farmers and truck drivers at the Polish-Ukrainian border. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also invited him to Ukraine.
