Zelenska receives Knight of Freedom Award assigned to Ukrainian people for fight against Russian aggression – presidential press service
KYIV. Oct 5 (Interfax-Ukraine) – First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska participated in the Warsaw Security Forum and received the Knight of Freedom Award presented to the Ukrainian people for the fight against Russian aggression, the president’s press service has said.
This award is presented by the Casimir Pulaski Foundation to outstanding figures who contributed to the popularization of General Pulaski’s values: freedom, justice and democracy. This year, the organizers awarded the Ukrainian people who are resisting Russian aggression.
The wife of the President of Ukraine made a visit to the Republic of Poland, met with the First Lady of this country Agata Kornhauser-Duda, as well as spoke at the Warsaw Security Forum.
Zelenska thanked her counterpart for the unchanging position of Poland, clear messages of support for Ukraine and her personal assistance in the treatment of Ukrainian children in medical institutions in Poland and other countries.
The First Ladies discussed a new format of cooperation between the two countries in the field of medicine – the exchange of experience between Ukrainian and Polish doctors in the field of providing care to patients with severe burn injuries.
Zelenska also visited the Children’s Health Protection Institute in Warsaw, where evacuated Ukrainian children are being treated. Currently, eleven children from Ukraine are being treated at the Institute, the youngest boy is only four years old.
She also spoke at the annual Warsaw Security Forum.
"I would like to urge everyone present here not to be afraid to take the risk of standing on the right side – as Poland is doing. After all, as I already said, this is a war of values. We can’t let Russia set a precedent so that aggression becomes the way of solving problems in the world. We can’t make the rockets falling on residential buildings an acceptable argument for everyone. We can’t let nuclear blackmail become our usual life," Zelenska said.
The First Lady also met with Ukrainian temporary migrants in Poland and representatives of the Ukrainian community in that country.
