Poland fully supports Georgia's EU, NATO membership aspirations– President Duda 

Polish President Andrzej Duda has expressed full support of Warsaw for Georgia's aspirations to join the European Union (EU) and NATO.

"Poland has always supported these aspirations of Georgia and will support them further. This is a matter of our common security," Duda said at a joint briefing in Warsaw with Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili on December 5, NewsGeorgia reports.

Duda said that joining the EU and NATO would provide Georgia with better conditions for economic development and political security.

The Polish leader is convinced that Georgia will restore its territorial integrity after the war in Ukraine is over.

"Russia must leave the territory of Ukraine, must stop this war ... We hope that Russia will soon be defeated and return territories it occupied not only in Ukraine but also in other countries. This will also affect Georgia's occupied territories," the Georgian president said.

He recalled the former Polish president Lech Kaczynski's visit to Georgia in 2008 to express support during the Russia-Georgia August war.

"His statement during that action was prophetic - 'Today Georgia, tomorrow Ukraine, then the Baltic States, and then Poland will be a turnaround, probably, in this aggressive history. President Kaczyński then said that if we don't stop Russia, its aggression will take on a larger scale," Duda recalled.
