Poland as an ally and friend of Ukraine

Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki quoted from the Ukraine's Declaration of Independence and noted that in the face of mortal danger, it is proving that it is truly independent. “Independence is more than declarations. Above all, it is the ability to defend one's homeland in a moment of trial,” he stressed.

“In this difficult time for Ukraine, I look with admiration at your struggle, and we are proud to call ourselves your allies and friends” - said head of the Polish government. “We know that you are fighting not only in your name. You are protecting yourself, your families, but you are also protecting Poland and Europe,” he added.

Poland and Ukraine to guard the heritage of European civilization

Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki assured that Poland is with Ukraine for better or for worse. “We support you in every possible way - through supplies, works in international forums and, above all, by providing shelter to Ukrainian women and children who have fled the war,” he noted.

As the head of government stressed, Poland and Ukraine stand together to safeguard the heritage of European civilization. “We believe that no empire or power can destroy free people and that it is free people who build states, not the other way around,” he added.
