Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in Poland on Wednesday to strengthen ties with a neighboring country that has played a big role in galvanizing Western military and political support for Kyiv against Russia’s full-scale invasion.
Zelensky’s visit comes as Ukraine plans a counteroffensive to recapture occupied land in its east and south.
Poland has taken in more than 1 million Ukrainian refugees over the past 13 months of war. The NATO member has also played an important role in persuading other Western powers to supply tanks and other weaponry to Ukraine.
