President Zelensky with official visit to Poland, talks about rebuilding Ukraine

Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, held his first official diplomatic visit to Poland on Wednesday, during which he talked to PM Mateusz Morawiecki and made a joint appearance with President Andrzej Duda.

"You are a hero of a free world, but more importnantly, you are Poland's great friend," President Andrzej Duda told President Zelensky at a joint appearance in Warsaw. 

"You did not abandon Ukraine, you stood with us shoulder to shoulder, and we are grateful to you. We believe this is a historic relationship," Zelensky said.

President Zelensky and PM Morawiecki discussed bilateral issues, current affairs and Ukraine's fight for freedom. The discussions also focused on joint initiatives and projects between the two countries.

One of the meeting's important topics was the involvement of Polish companies in the reconstruction of war-damaged areas in Ukraine. The two leaders signed a document entitled "Memorandum on Cooperation in the Reconstruction of Ukraine" that lays the foundation for further cooperation.

"Several hundred Polish companies are ready to help rebuild Ukraine. We signed the first agreements today in this regard, which is also extremely important," said Morawiecki.

The Polish Prime Minister emphasized that during the meeting, historical issues, the issue of Ukrainian transit of grain to third countries, and further steps towards Ukraine's accession to the European Union were also discussed.

"We know that when Ukraine is in NATO, we will be even safer. From this place, I say to the European Union: Europe, the place of the heroic Ukrainian nation is in NATO, and in the European Union," said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.
