Quote: "Deputy Prime Minister, Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski has begun his visit to Ukraine. He was welcomed at Kyiv’s railway station by Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha."

Details: Sybiha, meanwhile, wrote on X (Twitter) that the two countries "stand firmly together" amid Russia’s escalation of terror against Ukraine and provocations against Poland.

"Welcome to Kyiv, Radek! [...] We will hold substantial talks today about our shared security, Ukraine’s EU and NATO accession, and pressure on Moscow. I thank Poland for its leadership and support," Sybiha wrote.

The outlet notes that Sikorski’s visit comes two days after Russian drones made an unprecedented violation of Poland’s airspace.
