Ukraine is at war. It is impossible not to see tanks and APCs of the aggressor in Donbas - Komorowski in Rada
Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski condemned the Russian aggression and marked the feat of Ukrainian soldiers giving their lives for the future of their homeland.
In his speech in front of the deputies of the Verkhovna Rada he noted that Poland is landing its willing hand to Ukraine and should do everything to ensure that other nations of the Western world do the same, Censor.NET reports.
The president of Poland said that his visit takes place in difficult times for Ukraine. "Ukraine is in a state of war ... We meet at a time when the Russian aggression is trying to deprive Ukraine of its right to self-determination, the right to choose its own path," he said.
Komorowski noted the importance of the Revolution of Dignity, which took place in Ukraine in late 2013-early 2014. "The EU cannot forget the sacrifice of the Heavenly Hundred Heroes," he said, adding that Euromaidan activists who came out to the streets defended European values and the right to become part of the EU. He also emphasized that stability in Europe is only possible when Ukraine becomes a part of European Union, and expressed hope that Ukraine will fulfill a number of requirements to do this.
"When sons of Ukraine are dying in the East, they also defend Europe ... The Western World must understand that it will only be safe when it is safe in Ukraine," Komorowski said, adding that today only the blind cannot see Russia's participation in the conflict in the Donbas.
"It is impossible not to see the tanks and armored personnel carriers of the aggressor in Ukraine," he said indignantly.
According to Komorowski, the EU will never recognize the criminal changing of borders, which Russia went for against the wishes of Ukrainians.
