"We are not going to leave Ukraine without support, without help, and not only military support but also financial support," Mateusz Morawiecki said in an interview with The Washington Post.
He added that the Kremlin was seeking "to make Ukraine go bankrupt because Ukraine has to pay salaries for their soldiers and teachers, doctors, nurses, judges, and so on."
He said he was proud of his countrymen "how all the country behaved in the context of the recent refugee waves and also in the context of supporting Ukraine in their fight for freedom, sovereignty, and independence."
Morawiecki told The Washington Post on Tuesday that Poland was "preparing for different scenarios" amid Russia's war in Ukraine.
"It is possible that the real problems of the Russian army on the battlefield confirm that all scenarios can happen and also this very optimistic scenario that Russians would be pushed out of the Ukrainian territory," he said. "This is also quite possible."
He added: "Having said that, it's up to the Ukrainian people and President Zelensky to decide what is an acceptable position, acceptable terms and conditions for any potential future peace treaty."
Morawiecki on Tuesday attended an international conference on the postwar reconstruction of Ukraine in Berlin, where he urged the international community to step up financial and military assistance to the embattled country, Polish state news agency PAP reported.
Poland has taken in nearly 7.3 million refugees fleeing Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Polish Border Guard agency reported on Wednesday.
