According to the Polish government, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will travel to Warsaw ahead of the NATO summit in Washington in July. “President Zelensky and I have agreed to speak in Warsaw before the NATO summit,” Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote on Platform X.
A bilateral security agreement, which is almost ready, will most likely be signed, Tusk said after the end of the EU summit in Brussels.
Poland is an important supporter of Ukraine.
Poland, a member of the EU and NATO, is one of the most committed political and military supporters of Ukraine, which is under attack by Russia. It also plays an important role as a center for Western military aid to kyiv. Poland has also taken in almost a million refugees from its neighboring country.
The NATO summit on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the defence alliance will take place in Washington from 9 to 11 July. The heads of state and government of the 32 member states want to discuss, among other things, further aid to Ukraine. Zelensky is also invited to the meeting. Since the airspace over Ukraine has been closed since the beginning of the war, Zelensky has to travel by land via Poland for all his trips abroad before being able to travel from there by plane.
