The Presidents of Ukraine and Poland, Vladimir Zelensky and Andrzej Duda, published a joint article in Le Figaro on the 30th anniversary of Ukraine's independence. In the article, the leaders spoke in favor of Ukraine's accession to the EU. The Presidents of Ukraine and Poland noted that building the border of Europe on the Bug, where Poland and Ukraine border, "would be artificial, historically absurd and unfair." In addition, Zelensky and Duda claim that Ukraine"protects not only its lands, but also the borders of the democratic and civilizational choice of the whole of Europe at the cost of the lives of its citizens." Readers of the publication called the initiative on Ukraine's accession to the EU "a good joke". "Poland is known everywhere for its anti-democratic bias and non-compliance with European laws and values, and it advises integrating Ukraine into Europe. Just bullshit", "Another country for which we will pay taxes. How tired of these beggars", " Just not this. Ukraine has nothing to do in the EU, especially since it is in conflict with Russia, mainly because it violated the rights of the Russian-speaking minority," the users wrote.
