In his speech on the Independence Day of Ukraine in Kyiv, Duda expressed confidence that Ukraine will be able to defend its freedom.
The President of Poland noted that the Independence Day of Ukraine is to some extent the day of independence of the whole of Central Europe. During the speech, he noted the heroic struggle of Ukrainians for the preservation of independence and promised that Poland would support Ukraine until its victorious end.
We Poles know that independence is not granted once and for all. In our history, we experienced tragic moments, we lost sovereignty twice and twice regained it with superhuman efforts.
Andrzej Duda
President of Poland
The Polish president said that the example of the Poles' struggle for their statehood well confirms that perseverance and the desire for freedom should lead to victory, even if the opponent appears to be much stronger.
I did not have and do not have the slightest doubt that, united in their efforts and struggle, the courageous Ukrainian people will defend their independence. And although today Ukraine is fighting against the Russian aggressor, fighting not for life, but for death for its independence, I am convinced that the war will soon end with the victory of the forces of freedom over the world of tyranny. Then, out of the darkness of war, on the ruins and burnt territories, a new world will begin to be forged.
Duda also reminded that Poland was the first in the world to officially recognize the independence of Ukraine in 1991.
