“Greetings Poland and dear Poles! We have arrived with full determination to work 24/7 with the view to reinforcing the Polish-Ukrainian friendship! Together with Poland, we are stronger and we certainly will prevail! Thank you for your solidarity with and support for Ukraine,” Ambassador Zvarych tweeted.

Once he hands his letter of credence to Poland’s President Andrzej Duda, Vasyl Zvarych will fully replace the outgoing Ukrainian Ambassador Andrii Bohdanovych Deshchytsia, who has been occupying the office since November 2014.

Mr Zvarych has already worked as Ukraine’s diplomat in Warsaw, Poland.
