The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky will arrive in the Polish city of Lublin on Wednesday, July 29, where he is to meet with the Prime Minister of Poland Donald Tusk. The information was officially confirmed by the press service of the Polish government, reports "European Pravda".
According to the Polish government, the main topic of negotiations will be summing up the results of Zelensky's visit to the United States and his meeting with US President Donald Trump.
Polish media had previously reported on the preparation for this visit.
This will be the first visit of Volodymyr Zelensky to Poland after the escalation in relations between Kyiv and Warsaw. Tensions arose after the Ukrainian president's decision to name one of the military units after the UPA heroes, which drew criticism in Poland.
Against the backdrop of diplomatic disputes, cases of aggression towards Ukrainian citizens have also become more frequent in Poland recently. At the same time, the current meeting between Zelensky and Tusk could be an important step towards further dialogue between the two countries.
