Polish and Ukrainian presidents meet in Munich

Polish and Ukrainian Presidents Andrzej Duda and Petro Poroshenko met on the sidelines of the 52nd Munich Security Conference on Saturday to discuss the situation in Ukraine. They also set the date for a meeting of the Polish-Ukrainian consultation committee.

The talks centred on the developments in Ukraine related to the Minsk agreements, systemic changes in the country and the ongoing peace process, Polish Presidential Minister Krzysztof Szczerski said.

A meeting of the Polish-Ukrainian consultation committee on mutual relations will be held in Warsaw on March 3-4, Krzysztof Szczerski also announced.

"We will meet with our Ukrainian partners, we will launch a renewed presidential committee, as agreed by the presidents during the talk," Krzysztof Szczerski said.

The decision on reviving the format was made during President Duda's December visit to Kiev, the presidential aide added.

The Polish side will be headed by Krzysztof Szczerski while Ukraine's delegation will be chaired by Poroshenko's aide Kostiantyn Yelisieiev.

The committee is to discuss cooperation on the political level "with broader issues of social contacts", including historical dialogue, according to Szczerski.
