"We want permanent peace. We want stable and sustainable peace in Ukraine," Bartoszewski told the outlet. He added that Poland is prepared to support Ukraine with militarily and for peacekeeping operations.
This comes amid PM Modi's interview with US podcaster Lex Fridman, in which he revealed about his close relationship with Moscow and Kyiv.
"I can sit with President Putin and say it's not the time for war. I can tell President Zelenskyy in a friendly way that brother, regardless of how many people stand with you in the world, there will never be a resolution on the battlefield."
Modi said Ukraine's discussions should be with Russia and not its allied in Europe and America. He said at present, Ukraine and Russia have an opportunity for "meaningful and productive talks", adding that a resolution will happen only if they come to the negotiating table.
