“We have to have different solutions on the table for any scenario. That is why, of course, the initiatives that come from the Polish government are useful, because Poland is a member of NATO and has the opportunity to ask for certain initiatives within the Alliance, “Kuleba said.
“But we have one caveat to any initiative that is now being voiced by one country or another – these initiatives should not freeze the conflict. On February 24, additional territories of Ukraine were temporarily occupied. Our principled position is that Russia should return to the positions it held on February 23, and accordingly, no initiative that will help fix the current status quo is in Ukraine’s interests, “he said.

We are in sync, we are on the same page, and we will be grateful to Poland for any. New initiatives that we will talk to them about, and they can promote, ”Kuleba said.
