Andrei Duda: Ukraine must decide its own future

LAST UPDATE: 14:01

“Only Ukraine has the right to decide on its future,” Polish President Andrei Duda told Ukrainian lawmakers today, according to Reuters.

Duda became the first foreign leader to speak in person to the Ukrainian parliament since the February 24 invasion of Russia.

“There have been alarming voices saying that Ukraine must back down from Putin’s demands,” he said. “Only Ukraine has the right to decide on its future … nothing for you without you,” he added.

“If Ukraine is sacrificed for … economic reasons or political ambitions – even an inch of its territory – it will be a huge blow not only to the Ukrainian nation, but to the entire Western world,” Duda said.

“I will not rest until Ukraine becomes a member of the European Union,” he added.
