Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Olexandr Mischenko held a series of meetings with representatives of the Polish government, the defense industry, and expert community during his working visit to Warsaw.
During a meeting with Adam Leszkiewicz, Director of Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa (PGZ), the parties discussed prospects for advancing cooperation in the defense-industrial sector, particularly in the context of strengthening the defense capabilities of Ukraine and Europe amid Russia’s ongoing aggression.
Olexandr Mischenko also participated in the Ukrainian Culture Security Forum 2.0 “Fake Past, Stolen Future? Disinformation, Weaponized Culture and the Fight for Truth,” organized by the OBMIN Foundation together with partners and with the support of the diplomatic missions of Ukraine and Germany in Poland. In his remarks, the Deputy Minister underscored the need for a joint response to Russian disinformation and the Kremlin’s attempts to exploit historical memory, culture, and identity as instruments of hybrid warfare.
During meetings at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland, including with Deputy Foreign Minister of Poland Robert Kupiecki, the parties discussed current issues on the bilateral agenda, coordination of further support for Ukraine, cooperation in the field of regional security, and the continued development of the strategic partnership between Ukraine and Poland.
Within the framework of the Defence24 Forum currently taking place in Warsaw, Olexandr Mischenko took part in the panel discussion “Poland–Ukraine Defense Industrial Cooperation: Challenges and Prospects.” He emphasized that Ukraine today is not only a recipient of weapons, but also a state possessing unique battlefield experience, modern defense technologies, and practical solutions gained during Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine. In this context, the Deputy Minister stressed the importance of deepening cooperation between Ukraine and Poland in the areas of defense technologies, arms production, and strengthening security on Europe’s eastern flank.
Olexandr Mischenko also held a meeting with Czesław Mroczek, State Secretary at the Ministry of the Interior and Administration of Poland, during which the parties focused on regional security, interagency cooperation, and continued support for Ukraine in countering Russian aggression.
Ukraine highly values Poland’s unwavering support and remains committed to further strengthening the strategic partnership between the two countries in the interests of security, stability, and peace in Europe.
