Polish President Andrzej Duda met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Lithuania’s Gitanas Nausėda in Lviv, Ukraine, on Wednesday. In the evening, before his return to Poland, Duda met residents of Lviv on the street where he was greeted with ovations and exclamations of gratitude.
“That is how residents of Lviv bid farewell to the president of Poland,” wrote Jakub Kumoch from the Chancellery of the President of Poland.
A video of the overwhelming support for the Polish president was shared by a former press spokeswoman of the Ukrainian president, Iuliia Mendel, who thanked him for Poland’s promise to donate Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine.
A video depicting Duda shaking hands with people who greeted him with great enthusiasm was also posted by the chancellery of the president.
