Poland, the neighbouring country of war-torn Ukraine which has already opened its border to civilians to take refuge, has now acted on behalf of the war-ravaged country by asking NATO’s peace mission which is protected by armed forces to help Ukraine.

Objecting to the war which Poland termed as an ‘unarmed mission’ for Ukraine, Poland’s Vice Premier Jaroslaw Kachzynski has said that NATO must come to the rescue of Ukraine.

The media reports said that Kaczynski met Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky along with Czech and Slovenian prime ministers and Prime Minister Denys Shmygal in Kyiv.

The visit of the foreign leaders is the first visit to Kyiv after the war started in Ukraine on February 24 by Russia.

He opined that Ukraine needs a peacekeeping mission from NATO. It needs a mission that will be able to defend itself and that will operate on Ukrainian territory. The mission can operate from Ukraine with the agreement of the president and the government of Ukraine. Certainly, I cannot be on a defenceless mission.

Stating that the mission should work for peace and to ensure humanitarian aid, he said that the mission should also be given protection from armed forces, added Kaczynski.

Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has again urged the EU to give candidate status to Ukraine as quickly as possible. He said that they will try to arrange for weapons for the defence.

The leaders visited Kyiv to confirm the unequivocal support of the entire European Union for the sovereignty and independence of Ukraine.

They also went to present a broad package of support for the Ukrainian state and society, the reports said.
After the arrival of the leaders, Ukraine's deputy prime minister Shmygal commended the courage of the leaders calling them true friends of Ukraine.

The leaders visited the country at the time when Russia was making every attempt to capture Kyiv.

While the three heads of government are members of the European Council and therefore its representatives, they do not have an official mandate from the council, according to a European source.
