Poroshenko invites President Duda to Kiev

Ukraine's president Petro Poroshenko has invited his Polish counterpart, Andrzej Duda to Kiev to give thanks for Poland's support in establishing peace in eastern Ukraine, the Ukrainian media reported. The invitation was handed over to the adviser to the president, Krzysztof Szczerski who was paying a visit to the Ukrainian capital on Friday. Poroshenko thanked Poland for its "unchanging and active stance and solidarity with Ukraine in the international arena, in particular on the path to the EU." It it worth noting that, recently, Poroshenko has said that there is "no need for new formats to resolve the conflict" when Duda suggested including Poland and the other CEE countries in talks. What is more, the Ukrainian president stressed the need for the reinforcement of Polish-Ukrainian relations in the field of military-technical cooperation, including a joint Lithuanian-Polish-Ukrainian brigade.
