Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Saturday he and Poland's president have agreed that sanctions ought to continue against Russia until Ukraine regains the territory it lost in Moscow's 2014 annexation of Crimea.
Zelenskiy, accompanied by some members of his Cabinet, was on his first visit to Poland as president for political talks and to attend ceremonies planned for Sunday to mark the 80th anniversary of the start of World War II.
"We have agreed on our next steps to stop the war in eastern Ukraine and to bring back occupied Crimea," said Zelenskiy, who was a comedian who starred on a popular sitcom before his election in April. In eastern Ukraine, a deadly conflict between government forces and Russia-backed separatists has gone on for five years.
Duda said he assured Zelenskiy of his support for continuing sanctions on Russia and protecting"Ukraine's sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity."
