Tsymbalyuk mentioned the statement of the Polish representatives who initiated the transfer of armored vehicles, including heavy tanks .

According to Tsymbalyuk, the degree of the meeting will be high thanks to the statements of the Ukrainian authorities, in particular President Volodymyr Zelensky. After all, the West is beginning to realize the real danger.
