The prime ministers of Poland, Czech Republic, and Slovenia were set to meet with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky and Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal in the country's besieged capital Kyiv on Tuesday (15 March).
The surprise visit, meant as a show of solidarity with Ukraine, comes amid deadly Russian strikes on the Ukrainian capital, which has nearly been encircled by Moscow troops, and as Russia and Ukraine are due to resume talks to end the nearly three-week war.
According to an official announcement by the Polish government office, the trip was organised in agreement with European Council President Charles Michel and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
"The purpose of the visit is to confirm the unequivocal support of the entire EU for the sovereignty and independence of Ukraine and to present a broad package of support for the Ukrainian state and society," the statement said.
