(ANSA-AFP) - PRZEMYSLAW, SEP 12 - US Secretary of State
Antony Blinken on Thursday meets Poland's leaders to forge
common cause on Ukraine as upcoming US elections and Russian
attacks raise new jitters. The top US diplomat crossed into
Poland by train after a joint solidarity trip to Kyiv with
British Foreign Secretary David Lammy, with the two pledging to
swiftly review Ukraine's requests for permission to strike
deeper into Russia. Blinken will meet separately in Warsaw with
Prime Minister Donald Tusk and President Andrzej Duda, bitter
rivals on the direction of the European Union member. While
split on domestic policy, Poland, with its dark historical
memories of Moscow, has seen unity in backing Ukraine since its
invasion by Russia in 2022. Blinken hopes to use the final
months of President Joe Biden's administration to work with
allies to ensure broad and sustained support for Ukraine, which
has received billions of dollars in Western military and
economic support. (ANSA-AFP).
