As Ukrinform reports, Ukrainian First Deputy Prime Minister and Economy Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko will meet with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a security conference in the Polish city of Rzeszów. The conference, which focuses on security issues, takes place in Rzeszów, a city in southeastern Poland that, due to its proximity to the Ukrainian border, serves as an important logistical hub for support to Ukraine.
According to Ukrinform, the meeting between Svyrydenko and Tusk will take place on the sidelines of the conference. An exact date for the event was not provided in the report. The conference in Rzeszów is part of ongoing efforts to deepen security cooperation between Ukraine and Poland, especially in light of Russia's ongoing war of aggression against Ukraine.
Svyrydenko, who is also responsible for economic affairs, is expected to discuss with Tusk topics such as economic cooperation, security guarantees, and the reconstruction of Ukraine. Poland is one of Ukraine's closest allies and has provided extensive military, humanitarian, and economic aid since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022.
According to information from Ukrinform, the security conference in Rzeszów brings together representatives from politics, the military, and business to discuss current security challenges in the region. Rzeszów itself is a key hub for logistical support to Ukraine, as a large portion of international aid and weapons shipments to Ukraine are transported through the city.
The meeting between Svyrydenko and Tusk underscores the close bilateral cooperation between the two countries. Poland has repeatedly advocated for stronger support for Ukraine from the European Union (EU) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The conference provides an opportunity to further solidify the strategic partnership and discuss concrete steps to strengthen security in the region.
Further details on the exact content of the meeting or the conference agenda were not initially released by Ukrinform. It is expected that more information will be provided after the meeting.
