They also made clear their will to cooperate in the process of rebuilding Ukraine at the conflict’s end.
“Together with the presidents of Ukraine and Lithuania - Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Gitanas Nauseda - in the format of the Lublin Triangle, we are talking on Wednesday in Lviv about military support for Ukraine against Russian aggression and about Ukraine's integration with the EU and NATO,” President Andrzej Duda said.
One of the decisions announced after the meeting, is the Polish commitment to ship Leopard tanks to Ukraine within a wider European coalition. The Ukrainian army and politicians have been asking western partners for such a move for many months.Lwów | Podpisanie Wspólnej Deklaracji Prezydentów Trójkąta Lubelskiego @AndrzejDuda, @GitanasNauseda, @ZelenskyyUa.

“A company of Leopard tanks will be handed over as part of coalition building, because, as you know, a whole range of formal requirements, approvals and so on must be met for this purpose, but above all we want it to be an international coalition,” Polish President Andrzej Duda said.Wspólna deklaracja Prezydentów Ukrainy @ZelenskyyUa, Polski @AndrzejDuda i Litwy @GitanasNauseda przyjęta podczas II Szczytu Trójkąta Lubelskiego: https://t.co/rdVkyOpK0R pic.twitter.com/dAPDGjnBQD
