Polish prime minister  Donald Tusk told his Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky that Warsaw will soon roll out the project aimed at equipping Ukrainian brigades.

Tusk added that he will discuss this initiative with other European partners, including the Baltic and Nordic countries.

Their meeting also focused on expectations for Poland’s upcoming presidency of the European Union Council next year and cooperation in supplying weapons for Ukraine’s defense on the frontlines.

President Zelensky thanked Poland for its support and assistance, particularly in Ukraine’s aspirations to become a full-fledged NATO member.

“Poland understands how crucial it is for security in this part of Europe to be truly guaranteed and for there to be no geopolitical uncertainty,” Zelensky said.

Tusk stressed that Ukraine can always count on Poland’s support, especially in its journey toward integration into the EU and NATO.

“Our shared history is both complex and remarkable. There have been many positives and challenges in our relations, but this is a story of peoples who, in times of trial, have understood the historical moment. Russia’s aggression, Poland’s assistance to Ukraine, and Ukraine’s fight—these are monumental acts that have brought our nations closer together,” the Prime Minister remarked.
