Details: Sikorski said this could signal a shift in Kyiv's position.

Quote: "The Ukrainian side asked for a meeting with the Polish president. This means that perhaps they have realised they went too far."

Background:

  • During the NATO summit in Ankara, the presidents of Ukraine and Poland met twice: during the formal leaders' dinner and the following day on the sidelines of the summit.
  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described the meeting as "an important and necessary conversation".
  • Nawrocki reported details of his meeting with Zelenskyy in Ankara saying they "were unable to resolve the historical issues".
