Visit to Warsaw Under Wraps and Ukraine Reconstruction Talks
Polish officials spoke about the possibility of a visit by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to Warsaw, stressing that details would not be publicly announced for security reasons. A deputy head of Poland’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Paweł Jabłoński, addressed questions on Radio Wnet regarding a potential Zelensky trip to the Polish capital. He suggested the visit could happen soon but emphasized that no official public announcement would be made, mirroring the usual approach to visits by other heads of state. The deputy secretary of state underscored that high-level conversations remain ongoing between Poland and Ukraine and that the security situation drives discretion.
Officials noted ongoing, high-level dialogue about Ukraine’s future and the country’s reconstruction after the war. These discussions include Polish and Ukrainian authorities and the involvement of international organizations and financial institutions such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the G7. The exchanges are described as theoretical at this stage, yet they carry significant weight. A framework is being shaped for how such a reconstruction mechanism could function, an approach some have likened to a Marshall Plan for Ukraine.
Jabłoński also commented on Poland’s role in Ukraine’s rebuilding, saying Polish companies show strong interest in participating. He mentioned that regular meetings are conducted and that several hundred firms have already joined a collaboration platform created to share information and facilitate engagement.
Further, work is progressing on a bilateral Polish-Ukrainian treaty intended to grant privileges to Polish companies and citizens operating in Ukraine. The deputy head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed optimism that the treaty would be finalized in the coming months.
Related discussions highlighted recent remarks by President Zelensky during a conference in which Poland offered broad support. There were reports of Prime Minister Morawiecki speaking with Deputy Prime Minister Kubrakov about Poland’s role in Ukraine’s reconstruction and clarifying Poland’s potential contribution. Another focal point of the talks involved determining Poland’s share in Ukraine’s rebuild, a topic raised by senior Polish officials in Kyiv.
The coverage and comments originate from Polish press outlets and reflect ongoing diplomacy between Warsaw and Kyiv as both nations navigate post-war recovery efforts and regional security considerations. (Source: wPolityce)
