Polish Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski and his British counterpart Boris Johnson visit the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, on Wednesday.

This will be the ministers first joint visit to a foreign country. The aim is to show continuing support for Ukraines pro-European course, sovereignty and territorial integrity, and to assure Ukrainian authorities and society about Europes backing.

The two ministers will hold a series of high level meetings with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman, Deputy Prime Minister Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze, and Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin, among others.

Before the visit, Waszczykowski stressed that Poland and the UK have supported Ukraine on its pro-European path since the beginning of the Revolution of Dignity.

Im extremely happy that together with... Boris Johnson we will be able to reiterate our commitment to Ukraines European choice, its sovereignty and territorial integrity, Waszczykowski said.

Poland was the first country to recognise Ukraines independence. Since then we consider Ukraine a strategic partner. We will continue to support Ukrainians reform process, he added.
