Duda has met Zelenskyy five times this year, including on three visits he has made to Ukraine since the start of the invasion, which Russia calls a “special military operation.”

The Polish leader will participate on this trip in a summit of the Crimea Platform, a forum that seeks to restore Ukraine’s territorial integrity and an end to Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea.
