During a joint interview of Presidents Andrzej Duda and Volodymyr Zelensky for Polsat News, a funny situation occurred. The Ukrainian leader responded to the Polish head of state’s joke. “Andrzej, that’s because you haven’t been to Ukraine for a long time. Please let’s fix it,” Zelensky said.
The Sunday edition of “Rymanowski’s Breakfast” included a previously unbroadcast excerpt of a joint interview between Andrzej Duda and Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Polsat News.
Bogdan Rymanowski asked the presidents how the world had changed in the year of the large-scale invasion of Russia. “How have you changed as president?” – clarified the journalist, addressing Andrzej Duda.
They say I lost weight
joked the Polish president. He added that the past year has been a time of an entirely new political experience.
I see that even politicians of the oldest generation have never experienced such a situation
he said. At the same time, he stressed that he understood what his duties were now, and that is to support our neighbors from Ukraine. As the President of the Republic of Poland assured, he believes that Ukraine will join NATO in the future and become part of the Three Seas Initiative.

(…) We then decided to abolish all borders. We said then: it’s over, no more. Poland and Ukraine have no borders
