Details: The politician noted that the agreement would soon be ready. He said, however, that the document will only be a supplement, as Poland has been supporting Ukraine militarily for more than two years.

"The work on a security agreement between our countries is currently being accelerated. It will be ready soon, but from our point of view, this agreement will only be a supplement, a kind of cherry on top. After all, the whole process of military support for Ukraine has been going on for more than two years, and Poland was undoubtedly the first in this process," he stressed.

Kowal stressed that the biggest challenge now is to ensure the protection of Ukrainian cities, to give hope to the soldiers fighting at the front that they will receive support, and to ensure that Ukraine can actually defend itself.

"Real defence is also [the ability to] attack strategic military targets on Russian territory," Kowal emphasised.

Background: 

• Earlier, it was reported that the bilateral security agreement between Ukraine and Poland could be finalised and signed before the NATO summit, which will be held on 9-11 July.
• Poland's defence minister believes the Poles deserve a Nobel Prize for helping Ukrainians.
