he noted.
The Polish Minister of Internal Affairs also spoke about the first day of the Russian invasion on Ukraine.
Women and young children were waiting for our help at the border. We extended our help, because their husbands and fathers are fighting on the front lines not only for the freedom of Ukraine, but also for Poland, Europe and the world
he explained.
Minister Mariusz Kamiński also announced that Poland will continue supporting Ukraine.
The final day of this war will mark a victory over this brutal Russian aggression. We admire your struggle; therefore we have the duty to offer concrete support to Ukrainian soldiers and the uniformed services of the Ministry of the Interior. You can always count on us
the minister declared.
Minister Ihor Klymenko offered words of gratitude for Poland’s support, which started on the very first day of the Russian invasion.
The aid provided by our friends is very important for all of Ukraine. Poland is the staging ground for the humanitarian aid reaching our country. Thank you for all your support
he said.
