There are many things that only Andrzej and I know about, that we talked about without using special means of intergovernmental communication, only through WhatsApp. So it was in the first days of the war and later. We have very close personal relations,” the President of Ukraine said.

Zelensky added that “a special bond also binds our spouses.” He stressed that until now Ukraine and Poland have not been the only ones, as they are now.

“I do not want to use big words, but never before have our countries been so unanimous and so united as they are now,” the leader of Ukraine stressed.

Zelensky noted that the level of relations between Ukraine and Poland that they developed with Duda, the next presidents and people should pass on to future generations.
