Zelensky, Tusk to exchange visits early next year - Polish PM
Tusk revealed these plans during a joint press conference with Estonian Prime Minister Kristen Michal in Warsaw on Wednesday, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.
Tusk noted that on Tuesday he had a lengthy conversation with Zelensky to finalize the arrangements.
"We have agreed on mutual visits with President Zelensky. I will travel to Ukraine at the beginning of next year, and President Zelensky will visit Poland during Poland's pivotal moment of assuming the EU presidency," Tusk said.
He said that together with Michal, he has "identical views" on the issues of European security and Russia's aggression against Ukraine.
"Both of our countries are very active in creating a political scenario that would allow for a just end to the war, to which Ukraine and its allies would agree, and which would guarantee our interests and our security," Tusk said.
He called it very important that solidarity with Ukraine, in light of Russian aggression, be "the solidarity of countries that are building the future of the region well and wisely, taking into account their interests and their security."
Zelensky earlier held a phone call with Tusk during which the two leaders agreed to exchange visits in the near future for better coordination. During the conversation, they discussed Ukraine's progress on the European integration track and the priorities of Poland's six-month presidency of the Council of the EU, which will begin in January.
