Ukraine Keep arming Ukraine
Said
Poland is Ukraine's ally in its war with Russia and will keep supporting it.
“Dzisiaj jest najwyższy czas, abyśmy znowu powiedzieli sobie: jesteśmy sojusznikami Ukrainy w jej wojnie z Rosją. Tu nie może być miejsca na jakiekolwiek dziwne spekulacje, na jakiekolwiek dwuznaczności. Polska będzie z Ukrainą, Polska będzie wspierała Ukrainę, bo to Ukraina dzisiaj bierze na siebie główny ciężar oporu wobec agresywnej polityki Rosji.”
Our translation Today it is high time for us to say to ourselves again: we are Ukraine's allies in its war with Russia. There can be no room here for any strange speculation, for any ambiguity. Poland will be with Ukraine, Poland will support Ukraine, because it is Ukraine that today takes on the main burden of resistance to Russia's aggressive policy.
