The shootout of the Consulate General of Poland in Lutsk is a provocation of our enemy  aiming at breaking our nations apart. I’ve just returned from Warsaw, where I participated in the VIII Parliamentary Assembly of Ukraine, Poland and Lithuania. We set off the international cooperation on the Baltic-Blacksea Union.

We are fighting against the Russian aggression side-by-side with our Polish allies.

Yesterday, in Warsaw we agreed on the decision of making joint visits to Washington and Brussels to demand the continuation of the sanctions against international criminal - Putin’s Russia - and a more proactive support to Ukraine.

Jointly we signed a Statement, in which Poland and Lithuania call upon the EU and the USA to support Ukraine with investments, similarly to the “Marshall Plan”.

The adversary is afraid of our alliance, as it knows when we are together - we succeed.

I call upon the police to immediately investigate into the circumstances of this provocation and to punish all the perpetrators. I urge to strengthen the protection of diplomatic missions across Ukraine.

It is obvious that with its minor provocations the adversary will try to destroy the International anti-Putin coalition of the free states of the free world.
