The Republic of Poland, the Czech Republic and the Republic of Slovenia will provide comprehensive support for Ukraine, which is now fighting not for itself only but for Europe as a whole.

The relevant statement was made by the prime ministers of the aforementioned countries at a briefing in Kyiv, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

According to Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, they will assist as much as they can and provide support for refugees. Morawiecki expressed hope that Ukraine would receive a EU candidate status as soon as possible.

Morawiecki also noted that Poland would help Ukraine with weapons to protect itself, ‘as we can see you are fighting not only for your country, your life and freedom, but also for us’.

Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Janša stressed that Slovenia would also provide weapons to Ukraine and assist Ukrainian refugees. In his words, Ukrainians are now fighting not only for their native land but for Europe as a whole, for fundamental values, such as freedom, democracy, the right to freely choose friends and alliances.

Janša emphasized that they would like to give a clear signal that Ukraine should receive a EU candidate status as soon as possible, and this signal is intended not only for the EU but also for the one who attacked Ukraine.

Meanwhile, Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala noted that the main purpose and message of their mission was to show that Ukraine was not alone, and they were standing with Ukraine.

A reminder that, on March 15, 2022, the prime ministers of Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovenia arrived in Ukraine. It is the first visit by international guests of such a level to Kyiv since the Russian armed aggression against Ukraine started.

On February 24, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin initiated a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russian troops are shelling and destroying the key infrastructure facilities, launching missile and air strikes on residential areas in Ukrainian cities and villages, killing civilians in Ukraine.
