According to Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, the heads of government of Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovenia have arrived in Kyiv.
“Here, in war-torn Kyiv, history is being made,” Morawiecki wrote on Twitter on Tuesday. He also posted pictures showing him with his Vice President Jaroslaw Kaczynski, Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala and his Slovenian counterpart Janez Jansa at a table with a map of Ukraine.
“The EU supports Ukraine, which can count on the help of its friends – we brought this message to Kyiv today,” Morawiecki wrote.
The four politicians had traveled to Kyiv by train. There they wanted to speak to the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj and Prime Minister Denys Schmyhal. According to a Polish government spokesman, the trip had been planned in the strictest secrecy in consultation with the EU and NATO.
The Ukrainian capital has been shelled since the Russian war of aggression began on February 24.
