The President of Ukraine reported that the talks with the Polish president on Tuesday were very fruitful.
- We covered a whole set of issues. (...) Of course, we were talking about defense, about supporting our Ukrainians in Poland. I am very grateful to you, as well as to the government, the first lady and all of Poland, which receives Ukrainians in such a warm way - said Zelenski, addressing Duda.
As Zelenski reported, the conversation also concerned the security of Ukraine and Polish support for this country.
- Today, we still have the Crimean Platform, the second summit, and despite what Russia is doing against us, against our state, against our people, we continue our way to deoccupy our Crimean Peninsula. - He stressed that the Crimean Platform is a political tool for talks and the de-occupation of part of our wonderful country.
