During a meeting with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Lublin, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy discussed the results of his visit to Washington and his talks with U.S. President Donald Trump. The leaders also discussed defense cooperation, the historical dialogue between Ukraine and Poland, and the safety of Ukrainians residing in Poland.

Donald Tusk and Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced this on social media.

The meeting took place on July 29, as the Ukrainian president was returning to Ukraine following a visit to the U.S.

According to Tusk, Zelenskyy briefed him on the progress of the talks in Washington. In addition, the parties discussed Polish investments in Ukraine, cooperation in the field of missile defense, and continued support for Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression.

For his part, Zelenskyy noted that during the talks, special attention was paid to the historical dialogue between the two countries, as well as to issues of defense cooperation.

Missile defense is a key priority. Ukraine’s security and defense are also Poland’s security and defense. Our cooperation strengthens both our region and all of Europe

The leaders also discussed security challenges facing Ukrainians who have sought refuge in Poland due to the full-scale war. According to Zelenskyy, it is important that they feel safe there.

According to Polish media reports, the meeting between Zelenskyy and Tusk lasted about an hour. After it concluded, the leaders did not hold a joint press conference.

This is Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s first visit to Poland since the escalation in relations between Kyiv and Warsaw, which arose due to the awarding of an honorary title to one of the Ukrainian military units in honor of the heroes of the UPA.

As a reminder, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in Lublin on a visit to Poland.

On July 28, Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in Washington for a visit, with scheduled meetings with Donald Trump, his team, and partners who could strengthen Ukraine’s defense.

U.S. President Donald Trump has changed his attitude toward Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. After their meeting in the Oval Office of the White House, Trump stated that the talks were successful and the meeting went very well.
