Polish FM emphasized that this assistance reflects Poland's solidarity with the Ukrainian people and called on NATO and the democratic world to expedite the delivery of crucial air and missile defense systems.

In a meeting with Lviv's mayor, Andriy Sadovyi, Sikorski laid flowers at a memorial for the victims of the missile strikes that devastated parts of Lviv and claimed the lives of seven people, including three children. He denounced these attacks on civilian infrastructure as war crimes.

In a video accompanying his statement, Sikorski condemned the Russian strike on Lviv's civilian infrastructure as "another war crime."

The Polish foreign minister traveled to Ukraine following a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who had been in Poland the previous day.

As reported by Ukrinform, during a joint press conference in Warsaw, Sikorski and Blinken stressed the importance of the West's continued support for Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression and the need to keep up pressure on the Kremlin to bring an end to the war.

Sikorski reiterated Poland's pledge, originally proposed by Council of Ministers head Donald Tusk, to restore the buildings designated by Lviv’s Mayor’s Office, as a show of solidarity with Ukraine in its courageous struggle.
