"During the consultations, I briefed the US, NATO and EU leaders on my recent visit to Ukraine and our talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky," Andrzej Duda told reporters after the online meeting, on the 55th day of fighting in Ukraine.
"The evaluation of the situation is unequivocal: Ukraine needs support and can expect to be provided with it," he said. "We hope there will be agreement for sanctions to be expanded" against Russia.
Duda told reporters that "the issue of responsibility" for war crimes committed by Russian troops in Ukraine was "very strongly emphasized during the consultations," Poland's PAP news agency reported.
"There was a question of the responsibility of not only Vladimir Putin and those around him, but also of individual officers and soldiers," the president said.
"The work of prosecutors is ongoing and documentation is being collected," he added. "There is a great determination among European and world leaders to bring those responsible to justice."
'This war cannot end in victory for Russia'
Duda told reporters that "strong words were spoken during the meeting that Russia must not be allowed to win this war."
He said: "If Russia is victorious, it will continue its attack. It will not be satisfied with what it has gained in Ukraine. It will not satisfy its imperial ambitions and it will probably attack other countries."
"This war cannot end in victory for Russia," Duda also stated, as quoted by his office.
'Complete unity among largest NATO countries'
"There is complete unity among the largest NATO countries," the Polish president also said after the online meeting.
"Our position is clear: Russia's aggression must be stopped," he added.
