Quote: "Poland asked us to help in the energy sector, in particular with the export of electricity.

Of course, we will provide this. We will always help our Polish brothers who have been helping us since day one."

Details: Zelenskyy said that the issue of queues at the Ukrainian-Polish border was also discussed during the meeting with Mateusz Morawiecki, Prime Minister of Poland.

"We have an agreement on how to solve this problem. The Prime Minister of Ukraine and his Polish counterpart should agree on all the technical details," the president said.

Other issues discussed with Morawiecki were joint customs control, expansion of border checkpoints, and the simplification of postal exchange between Ukraine and EU countries.

"I appealed to the Prime Minister of Poland with a proposal to lower the price of postal items. This is important for our people, for everyone who needs special support right now," Zelenskyy said.

Background: At the beginning of August, it was reported that the national power company Ukrenergo and the Polish transmission system operator PSE S.A. had begun to restore the interstate power transmission line between Ukraine and Poland.

On 9 September, Kadri Simson, the European Commissioner for Energy, said that she supports the increase in the European Union’s import of electricity from Ukraine amid the energy crisis.
