Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said Poland must be present at all key forums where Europe's future is decided. He argued the Ukrainian-Polish partnership could become a key driver of Europe's new economic and security order. Ukrinform reported that Sybiha made the remarks in an article published on November 11 in the Polish newspaper Rzeczpospolita for Poland's Independence Day. Sybiha thanked Polish families and the government for supporting Ukraine since 2014 and after the full-scale invasion in 2022, and said Ukraine wants to be an equal partner rather than only a recipient of aid. He cited Ukrainians in Poland accounting for about 2.4% of Polish GDP in 2025 and founding more than 123,000 businesses since 2022. Bilateral trade reached about PLN 76 billion in 2025, and he called for joint production, better border infrastructure, faster customs procedures, and energy and defense cooperation, including a joint counter-drone working group.
