Polish President Andrzej Duda said that Ukraine could receive additional security guarantees during the NATO summit in Vilnius this summer.
He said this at a press conference in Warsaw after talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
– “We want to receive additional security guarantees at the NATO summit in Vilnius, which will support Ukrainian soldiers in the fight against the invaders. We hope that we can get such guarantees for Ukraine,” he said.
Duda emphasized that Ukraine should become a full member of the EU and NATO as soon as possible. He also said that the main topic of the talks was security.
– “Poland is the third largest country in terms of military support for Ukraine. We have transferred more than 300 tanks, Krab self-propelled artillery systems, and other equipment,” the politician said.
According to the Polish president, they also discussed “historical issues that are wounds for many families.” According to Duda, there are no taboo topics between him and Zelenskyy, so they will build relations based on an honest policy of memory.
Duda also reminded that Poland is Ukraine’s largest economic partner and expressed hope that “the western direction of Ukraine’s economic activity will be preserved.”
On April 5, Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived on an official visit to Poland, where he met with Polish President Andrzej Duda. The Polish president’s office reported that Duda awarded Zelenskyy with Poland’s highest honor, the Order of the White Eagle.
