Poland's Prime Minister, Donald Tusk, arrived in Kyiv for a working visit on Monday, January 22, according to the Polish Prime Minister's office.

Reportedly, Tusk has scheduled meetings today with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Prime Minister Denis Shmyhal.

This marks the first visit of the Polish prime minister to Ukraine since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion.

Tusk's visit to Ukraine

Tusk's visit to Ukraine was announced on December 13, with President Zelenskyy personally inviting the newly appointed prime minister to Kyiv the next day.

As reported by Polish media, the visit is intended to kickstart a reset in relations between the two countries. Tensions escalated following the border blockade by Polish carriers and Warsaw's ban on the import of Ukrainian grain.
