Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha will visit Warsaw on Friday, July 3, where he is set to meet Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski.
European Pravda reported this, citing Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Heorhii Tykhyi.
According to Tykhyi, Sybiha will visit the Polish capital on his way back to Ukraine after a trip to Japan.
“The minister is returning to Ukraine after his visit to Japan and will hold a meeting today with his Polish counterpart Radoslaw Sikorski in Warsaw on his way home”, the Foreign Ministry spokesperson said.
Polish media had earlier reported on Sybiha’s planned visit to Warsaw and his meeting with Sikorski.
The meeting comes amid rising tensions in Ukrainian-Polish relations.
According to media reports, tensions escalated after Polish President Karol Nawrocki decided to strip Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of Poland’s highest state award amid a dispute over a Ukrainian military unit named after UPA heroes.
Media outlets also previously reported that Nawrocki could limit contacts with Zelensky amid growing tensions between Kyiv and Warsaw.
