Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky travelled to Warsaw this Wednesday for a series of significant meetings with Polish leaders. The visit underscores the strengthened cooperation between Poland and Ukraine, especially amid ongoing regional tensions.
Zelensky began his visit by meeting with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, where both leaders held talks centring around Ukraine's ambitions within the European Union and NATO frameworks. Following their discussions, they addressed the media, emphasising the critical nature of Ukrainian independence as a pillar of security for both Poland and Europe. Zelensky expressed gratitude for Poland's support since the onset of the conflict with Russia, noting Poland's help in maintaining stability for Ukrainian citizens.
Donald Tusk highlighted that supporting Ukraine's defence is synonymous with aiding Europe and Poland itself. He assured that during Poland’s presidency of the European Union, efforts would converge on hastening Ukraine’s accession to the union. Tusk also acknowledged Zelensky’s role in advancing the dialogue surrounding the delicate issue of the Volhynia exhumations, describing it as a breakthrough in historical reconciliation efforts.
Beyond discussions on EU accession and historical matters, the production and supply of weaponry, especially drones and artillery, were focal points. Both leaders stressed the importance of these topics in the context of national and regional security strategies.

Zelensky’s itinerary included scheduled meetings with Polish President Andrzej Duda and Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski. The Ukrainian President intended to express his gratitude to Trzaskowski for the capital's support of Ukraine during the war.
Simultaneously, ongoing geopolitical tensions were underscored as Polish military forces were placed on alert due to a Russian attack on western Ukraine. This escalation saw Polish fighter jets taking to the skies to monitor the regional situation closely and ensure readiness to respond to threats.
The meetings in Warsaw come as a backdrop to recent developments regarding the exhumation of victims from the Volhynia conflict. The Ukrainian government has agreed to begin these exhumations, which have been a longstanding point of tension between the nations.
This visit by President Zelensky marks a significant chapter in Polish-Ukrainian relations, highlighting ongoing collaborations and acknowledging the imperative of unity against broader threats in the region.
