Poland’s foreign minister arrived in Kyiv on Friday for talks on security, days after a drone incursion into Poland escalated concerns over the spillover of Russia’s invasion.
Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga shared an image showing him meeting his Polish counterpart, Radoslaw Sikorski, at a train station in Kyiv.
“Against the backdrop of Russia’s escalation of terror against Ukraine and provocations against Poland, we stand firmly together,” Sybiga wrote on social media.
“We will hold substantial talks today about our shared security, Ukraine’s EU and NATO accession, and pressure on Moscow,” he added.
The visit comes as Russia and its key ally Belarus — both of which border Poland — began major joint military drills early Friday.
Poland and its NATO allies scrambled jets to down more than a dozen Russian drones flying across its airspace early Wednesday for the first time since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022.
Moscow denied targeting the country and said there was no evidence the drones were Russian.
