Our bilateral relations after the signing of the relevant agreement, that is to say, the spectrum is wide.

6. SOUNDBITE (Ukrainian) Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine:
"The question is not what Russia wants, the question is whether we can all stop them, change the point of view of the current leader of the Russian Federation. This is the most important task, between all the other issues that we have as good neighbours, I believe that the main thing is what carries aggression and what Andrzej just said, what we were fighting for. We are fighting for our sovereignty, for our independence. People are fighting for this at a high price, high losses, for many years, and you can lose it very quickly, so the unity between us and Poland is very important in this regard."

STORYLINE:
Polish President Andrzej Duda visited Kyiv on Saturday - Ukraine’s Constitution Day - for a farewell meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy ahead of the end of his term on August 6.

Duda was welcomed at the train station by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, who called him “a true friend of Ukraine.”

The Polish leader took part in Constitution Day events and laid a wreath in honour of fallen soldiers.

Zelenskyy awarded Duda the Order of Freedom, Ukraine’s highest honour for foreign nationals, for his support of Ukraine’s sovereignty and Polish-Ukrainian cooperation.

At a joint briefing in Kyiv, Zelenskyy said: "The question is not what Russia wants, the question is whether we can all stop them, change the point of view of the current leader of the Russian Federation. This is the most important task, between all the other issues, that we have as good neighbours."
