Duda: Poland will support Euro-Atlantic aspirations of Ukraine

Polish President Andrzej Duda has said that Poland will support the European integration and Euro-Atlantic aspirations of Ukraine.

"We also stand shoulder to shoulder when Ukraine is going through an extremely difficult time and the complicated conflict in Ukraine's east and the occupation of Crimea. In this regard, Poland has been and, I believe, will stand together with Ukraine, supporting the European aspirations of Ukraine, as well as its trans-Atlantic aspirations," he said after a meeting with Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko in Kyiv on Wednesday.


The Polish president recalled that the assistance package for Ukraine was adopted at the NATO summit in Warsaw and said he hoped this package will present substantial assistance to Ukraine.

"I stress once again: security in Central and Eastern Europe, which is our region, will be the element of the European security," he said.

Duda invited Poroshenko to visit Warsaw on December 2, which is a symbolic day, when Poland recognized Ukraine's independence.
