Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky met with the prime ministers of Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovenia on Tuesday (March 15) and thanked the heads of government for their support since the Russian invasion began almost three weeks ago.
Prime Minister of Poland Mateusz Morawiecki, Prime Minister of the Czech Republic Petr Fiala and Prime Minister of Slovenia Janez Janša visited Kyiv for talks on security, strengthening sanctions against Russia and the prospects of Ukraine's membership in the European Union. Deputy Prime Minister of Poland Jarosław Kaczyński was also present.
"At a time when many ambassadors have left Ukraine in connection with the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, these dignitaries, leaders of their beautiful independent European states, fear nothing, care for our fate more, and they are here to support us," Mr Zelensky said after the meeting. "This is a great courageous, correct and friendly step. And I am sure that with such friends, with such countries, with such neighbours and partners, we will really be able to win."
Plans to rebuild the country following the war were also discussed, in terms of international assistance in replenishing the relevant reconstruction funds already established by the Ukrainian government.
"We know for sure that everything we are discussing will reach the positive goal for our country, our security and our future," President Zelensky stressed.
