Jakub Kumoch, who is a senior foreign policy advisor to Polish President Andrzej Duda, said in Kyiv on Monday that Poland and Ukraine were working on a new treaty to strengthen their relations.

He told reporters that Warsaw and Kyiv were "speaking the same language," and added that "the defence of Ukraine is also the defence of Poland," public broadcaster Polish Radio’s IAR news agency reported.

Kumoch, who heads the Polish president's International Policy Bureau, declared that Poland "will continue to support Ukraine until victory is won" against Russia, the IAR news agency reported.
