An expression of gratitude
President Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to Warsaw will demonstrate the gratitude that Ukraine has repeatedly expressed to Poland, which turned out to be not only a partner and neighbor, but also a truly fraternal country, Jadwiga Rogoża, an analyst from the Center for Oriental Studies, told PAP.PL.
This is a bilateral visit, it is no longer President Zelensky’s journey through Poland, who went to Washington or Europe, but it will be a visit specifically dedicated to Poland
– Jadwiga Rogoża, an analyst from the Center for Oriental Studies told PAP.PL. Marek Karp in Warsaw.
According to her, the visit of President Zelensky will show gratitude to our country.
The gratitude that Ukraine has repeatedly expressed to Poland, which turned out not only to be a partner and neighbour, but also a true brother country
she stressed.
She added that the agenda of the meeting between President Andrzej Duda and President Zelensky is very broad.
We have social problems here, ie the presidents go to Polish and Ukrainian society and thus show their gratitude. It’s also an agenda from security to economic and historical issues that have already been heralded as talking points. I think it will be a rich program
she said.
According to Rogoża, “State relations usually take place on many levels and important decisions are made on many occasions”.
And such a face-to-face visit in such a friendly atmosphere, because both presidents are said to have true friendship, is very important – when it comes to strategic issues and final decisions
– she said.
The seriousness of the visit
She emphasized that “visits like this are very important because in a way they summarize our achievements.”
The results of the past year are not only the strengthening of Polish-Ukrainian relations, but also the manifestation of brotherhood. It can be said that we have never been so close to each other, despite the fact that it comes with such tragic circumstances. This is why this visit is important as we reap last year’s harvest and plan for the future
concluded Rogoza.
