Eastern Europe must fight for freedom against the Russian invaders. That is why it is so important to support Ukraine in its war against Russia, said the President of Poland Andrzej Duda during a press conference with Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda.

"In a sense, unfortunately, it is our tradition to fight for freedom against the Russian invaders. That is why it is so important for both of us and for our part of Europe to support Ukraine today," he emphasized.

Duda added that a few days ago they had already discussed the issue of assistance to Ukraine at the Davos Economic Forum, where support for Kyiv was one of the most important items on the agenda.

"I hope that in the near future we will be able to meet in the Lublin Triangle formula with our friend President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and discuss how to support Ukraine, in particular, before the upcoming NATO anniversary summit in Washington," the Polish president said.
