Poland's Foreign Minister Made An Unexpected Visit To Ukraine

Radosław Sikorski had already visited Kyiv several times during the war.

Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski arrived in Kyiv on an official visit. He announced the trip himself by posting on his X account. However, neither the Polish nor the Ukrainian side had announced this visit in advance—information about it appeared only after the fact. The purpose of Sikorski’s trip remains unknown for now: the Polish foreign minister declined to comment on the reasons for his visit to the Ukrainian capital.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is currently on a visit to Canada from September 9 through 11, so a face-to-face meeting with him is out of the question. It appears that Sikorski’s talks will take place with his Ukrainian counterpart—Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga.

It is worth noting that this is far from Sikorski’s first visit to Kyiv since the start of the full-scale war. Specifically, in February 2026, he had already visited the Ukrainian capital—at that time, his trip coincided with the fourth anniversary of the Russian invasion and became a symbol of Poland’s support for Ukraine.

If needed, I can provide a shorter version for social media or, conversely, a more detailed one—with additional context on the relationship between Poland and Ukraine.
