In Warsaw, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with the Ukrainian community and discussed important issues of unity, our state's European integration course, joint steps with partners towards a just peace, as well as support for Ukrainians living abroad.
“I would like to thank you, not for today, but for all the days of the war when you supported Ukraine, and even before the war. But our greatest challenge today is the war for our independence. Therefore, I want to thank you for your daily work,” the Head of State said.
One of the topics discussed during the meeting was the activity of the Ministry of National Unity and, in particular, the establishment of unity centers in Poland, and later in Germany and the Czech Republic.
“We are different, but when we all fight against Russia, we are one people, one nation. The main thing is not to engage in internal struggles, not to fight against each other,” the President stressed.
During the meeting, Volodymyr Zelenskyy also spoke about the strengthening of Ukrainian-Polish relations and the development of bilateral cooperation. In particular, the launch of new connections between Kyiv and Warsaw is planned.
The Head of State also outlined his expectations for Poland's Presidency of the Council of the EU. In the next six months, Ukraine expects to open three negotiating clusters on EU accession.
“We understand that our Polish colleagues are ready for two of them, but we will do everything to open three. Then we have Denmark: we want to open three more clusters. But we'll see how it goes. We have an ambitious goal to open 5-6 clusters. In principle, we can open them all this year, if we succeed. We will try to do it all,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy concluded.
