Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky traveled to Poland, a trip confirmed by RMF 24, the Polish radio outlet. It marks Zelensky’s first official sojourn to Poland since Russia launched its invasion, and it also represents the first time the Ukrainian leader has left the country on an officially announced mission since the crisis began.
In Warsaw, at 11:00 local time, President Andrzej Duda will greet Zelensky at the presidential palace. The day will unfold with a series of intergovernmental discussions, notable sessions featuring heads of state, delegations, and ministers. The day’s schedule culminates in a reception in the Royal Castle courtyard at around 18:00, a highlight of the bilateral and regional engagements planned for the visit.
The conversations are expected to cover a broad agenda, including continued military assistance to Ukraine, strategic coordination for Ukraine’s postwar reconstruction, and the country’s ongoing discussions about joining European structures and security alliances. Officials will weigh practical steps to support Ukraine’s sovereignty, reinforce regional stability, and outline pathways toward eventual EU and NATO membership as Kyiv works to align with Western institutional frameworks.
Earlier, General Waldemar Skrzypczak, a former commander of Poland’s ground forces, commented on Zelensky’s approach to the Warsaw talks, signaling a focus on practical negotiation aims and the coordination of security guarantees. Zelensky’s arrival in Warsaw reflects broad Polish support for Ukraine and the desire to strengthen joint efforts in assuring stability along Europe’s eastern flank during this period of intensified geopolitical tension.
