Donald Tusk arrives in Kyiv for talks with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as Ukraine’s war with Russia nears two years.
Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk has arrived in neighbouring Ukraine, aiming to strengthen relations after months of political friction between the two wartime allies.
Tusk met his Ukrainian counterpart Denys Shmyhal on Monday and is scheduled to meet President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as Poland explores making more ammunition and military equipment part of a new aid package for Ukraine.
Warsaw has emerged as a key ally for Kyiv as it defends itself against Russia and seeks more financial and military support from Western partners. Poland has also taken in more than one million Ukrainian refugees.
“There is no more important issue than supporting Ukraine in its war effort – that is number one,” said Tusk, who assumed office last month, in comments carried on Polish television.
“Other questions must also be discussed, notably those linked to interests of Polish truckers, so there are things to discuss in Kyiv,” he added.
