Quote: “Ukraine needs to be supported now. We have a working relationship with [Polish Prime Minister Donald] Tusk and we have had meetings. I recently met with [Polish President Andrzej] Duda as well. And with Ursula von der Leyen [President of the European Commission].

I have been saying that this is a political issue since last April. And today, the European Commission has confirmed this.”

Details: Zelenskyy believes that “there is an internal struggle in Poland” and that “it is simply unfair to use Ukraine as leverage against European institutions”.

Quote: “I believe that the prime ministers will find the appropriate steps. As president, I say openly that it is very important for us to maintain our alliance with Poland. And if steps are not taken, then we will defend our businesses.”
