"There are extraordinary heads of cities who are here now with their teams. They showed that there are no borders between our countries. You are the extraordinary people who, together with rescuers and volunteers, were the first to receive our people who were fleeing from the Russian occupier, who were saving their children," said the President.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted the extraordinary scale of aid provided to Ukraine by Polish border cities. This includes, in particular, the arrangement of hundreds of reception points for Ukrainians, the creation of hubs and logistics centers for the collection and transfer of humanitarian goods to Ukraine.

"You had your own front here - the front of humanitarian aid. And while our heroic soldiers defended our independence on the frontline, you sheltered children and families in need. I want to thank you for this help and understanding," Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized.

The President noted that the solidarity and support of Polish society helped Ukraine resist Russia's aggression. The Head of State expects that Poland will become a key partner in the restoration of Ukraine, and local authorities and businesses will actively participate in this process.
