According to him, our countries have a "great and glorious history.
We believe in the wisdom of our peoples and governments. We have a great and glorious history. And Russia has always been our opponent, and often even our enemy. And together we have repeatedly overcome it,
He also emphasized that from the first days of the war, Poland provided Ukraine with maximum support.
We will always remember this and be grateful to the Polish people and the leadership of the Polish state. As we are neighbors, the security issues of our region automatically concern both Poland and Ukraine. This is our common cause. Therefore, we look forward to further development and deepening of close cooperation with the Republic of Poland,
In addition, he commented on the assistance provided to Ukraine by other countries, including the United States.
Let's be honest - it will be very difficult for us without the United States. We must do everything possible to ensure that they support Ukraine. As a well-known Ukrainian proverb says, "one man is not a warrior in a field." This is my answer in the context of the United States. In addition, this cooperation is clearly bilateral and mutually beneficial. As for Europe, it is impossible to imagine the global security of the European continent without Ukraine. And without our heroic army, now the largest in Europe, hardened in the largest war since World War II,
