Poland's new prime minister has stressed his country is Ukraine's "most stable ally. "Meanwhile, the UN is questioning Russia about the fate of thousands of Ukrainian children.
Poland's newly elected prime minister, Donald Tusk , arrived in Kyiv on Monday for surprise talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
"For me, it is very important to build the feeling that Poland is the most reliable, most stable ally of Ukraine in this deadly clash with evil," Tusk said.
Tusk also met with Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, and attended a memorial service for Ukrainian soldiers who were killed in battle with Russia.
Poland has supported Kyiv militarily, while taking in the largest number of Ukrainian refugees since Russia launched its war on Ukraine in February 2022.
However, tensions between Poland and Ukraine have recently erupted over a Ukrainian export policy, which Polish farmers say threatens their livelihood.
Tusk is seeking ways of mending ties with Ukraine. He had earlier expressed the desire to help Ukraine economically, yet without it coming at the expense of Polish businesses.
"There are some conflicts of interest, we know it well and we will talk about them, but not only in the spirit of friendship, which is obvious, but with the attitude to solve these problems as soon as possible, not to maintain or multiply them," Tusk said.
