Ambassador Zvarych: Poland sees military aid to Ukraine as guarantee of its own security

Poland sees military assistance to Ukraine as a guarantee of its own security and the security of Europe as a whole. Warsaw trusts in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and will continue to provide military support.

The relevant statement was made by the newly appointed Ambassador of Ukraine to Poland Vasyl Zvarych in an interview with Ukrinform.

According to Zvarych, it is no secret that Poland provides military assistance to Ukraine, and the weapons received from Poland are effective and valuable to the Ukrainian military on the front line.

“When presenting the credentials, I told the President of Poland: Polish weapons in Ukrainian hands are a true and real brotherhood of weapons, which the future generations of both nations will be aware of. From our common history, we remember the year 1920, when the Ukrainian People’s Republic and Poland together resisted the Bolshevik onslaught. Together we defended Europe against the Bolsheviks then, and today we can also defend Europe together against the Russian aggression,” Zvarych noted.

In his words, Polish-manufactured Krab howitzers, Piorun man-portable air-defense systems and other weapons successfully stop the enemy across all directions on the front line.

“We are confident that Poland will continue to provide military assistance to Ukraine in the future. Poland trusts in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and sees this defense as a guarantee of its own security and the security of Europe as a whole,” Zvarych added.

A reminder that Poland has already handed over to Ukraine about $1.7 billion worth of military equipment, namely 240 modernized T-72 tanks, Piorun man-portable air-defense systems, Krab self-propelled gun-howitzers, grenade launchers, artillery shells, etc.
