Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced a strengthening of relations between Ukraine and Poland, emphasizing their shared security concerns amidst Russia’s ongoing conflict with Ukraine. Following a constructive meeting with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, Zelensky highlighted the importance of maintaining close cooperation with Poland for the broader security of Europe.
During discussions, Zelensky expressed gratitude to the Polish government and public for their unwavering support, underscoring the significance of solidarity as Ukraine navigates its current security challenges.
