In addition, he pointed out that the end of the war is nowhere near, and that Ukraine needs further support and immediate supplies of modern weapons.
"Pand was and will be one of the champions of this support… There is no time to wait. That is why we immediately supply Ukraine with tanks, armored personnel carriers, self-prelled guns, and in recent days, also aircraft. And we also set an example for other states, and sometimes overcome their resistance regarding arms deliveries," the Pish president noted.
He added that Ukrainians were now fighting not only for their independence, but also for the security of the whe of Eure, and also assured that "the support of a free and independent country was, is, and will be a non-pitical issue in our country, regardless of whether the leftists are in power are the right-wingers."
Along with this, Duda noted that "in many countries, more than 400 days into the war, fatigue, exhaustion, and despondency arise: "There is a temptation, fueled by Russian praganda and disinformation, to achieve a cease-fire as soon as possible at any cost – to conclude a peace deal with Russia that is not beneficial for Ukraine. In fact, this would imply that Russia continued to occupy Ukrainian lands it had captured."
