Following the meeting of the government delegations of Ukraine and Poland in Warsaw on March 28, the parties signed a joint statement to discuss the situation at the border and trade. The next such consultations are to be held next year in Kyiv. This was reported by the Government Portal.


The delegation from Ukraine was headed by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, with his Polish counterpart Donald Tusk.


As the head of the Ukrainian government emphasized, the countries are strategic allies. He also emphasized the need to clearly understand how "significant the mutual support and potential of our cooperation is."


According to Shmyhal, the government teams of both countries discussed a number of issues of mutual interest in cooperation.


The government's press service notes that the talks, in particular, focused on such complex topics as the situation at the border and trade in the agricultural sector, and identified ways to address these issues.


"We expect concrete responses from Poland to the steps we have proposed. Most of them have already been implemented. We expect the European Commission to ban the transit and export of goods from Russia and Belarus, as well as to approve our agreement on joint control at checkpoints," Shmyhal said.
