Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski met with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Friday, February 21, within his visit to Washington, after which he said that "it was a powerful conversation between close allies", which also concerned the war in Ukraine.
The portal of the Polish radio broadcaster RMF FM has reported this.
At the beginning of the meeting, Rubio and Sikorski shook hands and took a photo, but, contrary to tradition, did not make any statements. They did not answer journalists' questions, in particular about who the U.S. considers the aggressor in the war in Ukraine.
When asked about the U.S. tactics regarding the war in Ukraine, Sikorski replied that he "had the impression that the US is interested in lasting peace".
Regarding possible security guarantees for Kyiv, he said, the goal is for "Ukraine to decide its own future," the PAP agency added. At the same time, Sikorski added that the issue of deploying European troops in Ukraine was not raised in his conversation with Rubio.
The Polish Foreign Minister also confirmed the upcoming meeting between Donald Trump and Andrzej Duda, which was previously announced by the Polish media.
