The debate entitled "Prospects after the NATO Summit in Vilnius" was organized in connection with the preparations undertaken by the President of the Republic of Poland Andrzej Duda for the North Atlantic Alliance Summit, scheduled to take place on 11-12 July 2023 in Vilnius. Its purpose was also to discuss long-term directions for the strengthening of Polish security policy, domestically and internationally, following the Russian aggression against Ukraine.

On February 23, just a few hours before the Russian aggression one year ago, I was in a beautiful and proud Kyiv to support Ukraine. I had a long conversation with my friend, President Volodymyr Zelensky. The situation at that time was, as you know, extremely dramatic. We already knew that in a few hours the Russians would attack, a full–scale war would begin.

Polish President Andrzej Duda met with U.S. Central Intelligence Agency Director William Burns in Warsaw on Wednesday.

President: From Warsaw, a city so afflicted by war, from Poland, from the country of Solidarity, there is an appeal going out to the whole world: stand in solidarity with Ukraine! We repeat the words which Poles had on their lips when they were fighting for their freedom: there is no freedom without Solidarity!

President Andrzej Duda: The brutal full–scale Russian aggression against Ukraine has forever changed the history of our part of Europe.

President Andrzej Duda: Long live a free Ukraine! Long live the Alliance of the Republic of Poland with the United States of America! Long live NATO! Long live the free world! Long live Poland! There is no freedom without solidarity!
