Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said the Ukrainian-Polish alliance will shape a new economic and security order in Europe, according to Ukrainska Pravda. In an article for the Polish newspaper Rzeczpospolita, as reported by European Pravda, he called the alliance a new European engine whose energy will drive Europe forward and said Poland must be present at all key forums where Europe's fate is decided. Sybiha said Poland's experience in European integration, from negotiations to support for farmers and small local communities, is invaluable to Ukraine, while Ukraine's European integration opens new opportunities for Polish businesses, investors, regions, logistics hubs and educational institutions. He cited cooperation in energy and defence, and said Ukraine's experience countering Russian missiles and Poland's defence potential could make a joint contribution to the security of European skies especially significant. He also said Ukraine has always advocated an alliance with Poland, and that the two countries must not succumb to Russian attempts to sow discord, noting progress in resolving a historical dispute. Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski had earlier warned European allies against negotiating an end to the Russia-Ukraine war without considering the security interests of Eastern Europe.
