Ambassador Piotr Łukasiewicz emphasized that Polish diplomats will not stop working and will continue to operate in the current war regime.
"We have our own security systems, our own information on security in Kyiv and Ukraine, and we also use information from our allies. We are not interrupting our work, we are working. We have no intention of closing the embassy. We rely heavily on Ukrainian air defense and believe in it, it has repeatedly proven its effectiveness in repelling attacks on civilian targets," - explained Piotr Lukasiewicz.

Diplomats recommend that citizens of their countries living in Kyiv and other places refrain from traveling and stay near shelters.
