Andrzej Duda: "I will not rest until Ukraine becomes a member of the EU"

Only Ukraine has the right to decide its future, the Polish president told the Ukrainian parliament on Sunday, becoming the first foreign leader to deliver a speech in person in the country's legislature since the beginning of the Russian invasion, Reuters reports. Andrzej Duda has assured that he will "have no rest" until Ukraine becomes a member of the EU.

Duda also said that the international community must ask Russia to withdraw completely from Ukraine.

"If Ukraine is sacrificed for economic reasons or political ambitions - even an inch of its territory - it will be a huge blow not only to the Ukrainian nation, but to the entire Western world," Duda said.

Poland is a strong advocate of tougher sanctions against Russia and has been vocal in supporting Ukraine in its bid to join the EU.

"I will not rest until Ukraine becomes a member of the European Union," Duda said on Sunday.
