Volodymyr Zelenskyy Discussed Russian Strikes and Winter Preparations with Donald Tusk

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting with Prime Minister of Poland Donald Tusk.

The Head of State congratulated Donald Tusk and all Poles on Poland’s Independence Day, celebrated on November 11.

“We will always be grateful to the Polish people for supporting our independence and helping protect lives in Ukraine,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized.

The main topics of discussion were diplomacy, the front, and the situation with Russian strikes on Ukrainian cities and communities.

During the meeting, they discussed how Poland could help Ukraine prepare for this winter and expand transport links between the two countries, particularly for fuel supplies. The President emphasized that this could truly support Ukraine’s energy resilience.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Donald Tusk also discussed European matters and steps that could accelerate Ukraine’s accession to the European Union.

“We see EU membership as one of the security guarantees for Ukraine and all of Europe,” the Head of State noted.

The President thanked the Prime Minister for the start of military exercises involving countries of the Coalition of the Willing, as the first stage of training is taking place in Poland. Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that Ukraine counts on this truly helping to build reliable security in the future.
