The Senate (higher chamber of Polish parliament) during its 36th meeting on February 4, passed a resolution on supporting Ukraine. The resolution was adopted unanimously, with 92 votes.
"Free Ukraine is one of the guarantors of Poland's security," the senators wrote.
After the vote, the Marshal of the Senate of the Republic of Poland, prof. Tomasz Grodzki handed the text of the resolution to the Ukrainian ambassador to Poland, Andrij Deszczka.
The resolution recalled that Poland was the first state to recognize the independence of Ukraine, and successive Polish governments strengthened the strategic partnership of our countries.
“Today, when Ukraine is faced with a deadly danger – the threat of another invasion – it is especially important that the authorities of the Republic of Poland reliably support our neighbor. There is no safe Poland without an independent Ukraine,” we read in the resolution.
It also included an assurance that the Senate of the Republic of Poland supports political and financial aid for Ukraine, the supply of arms to that country, and the participation of soldiers from NATO member states in the training of Ukrainian military personnel.
The Senate of the Republic of Poland also expressed its conviction that dialogue with the Russian Federation is possible.
"But it must not take place in a situation of military blackmail, undermining the principle of inviolability of borders in Europe, and hybrid attacks on democratic institutions," we read further.
