Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in Poland on Thursday following a summit of the European Council in Brussels.
State news agency Ukrinform reported that Zelenskyy will hold his first meeting with Polish President Karol Nawrocki since the latter took office in August.
According to the Polish president’s press programme, the leaders will start with a bilateral meeting, followed by talks between their respective delegations. A media briefing is also planned.
Polish presidential spokesman Rafal Leskiewicz confirmed on social media platform X that Warsaw proposed a meeting on 19 December, with final details of the visit being finalised. “The main topics of the talks in Warsaw will include security, economic, and historical matters,” he said.
