M. Jean-Yves le Drian, Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, spoke today to his Polish counterpart, Mr Zbigniew Rau.
The ministers discussed Europe's response to the war in Ukraine, in particular measures to assist the large number of Ukrainian refugees who have arrived in Poland, the continuation and deepening of the support provided to Ukraine, the stepping-up of sanctions against Russia and the diversification of the European Union's energy supply sources, particularly in the context of the Russian side unilaterally stopping gas deliveries to Poland and Bulgaria. The Minister reiterated France's solidarity with them.
The ministers also talked about bilateral cooperation between the two countries.
