The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, honored Warsaw with the honorary state award “City-Savior”. He announced this on his social networks on Wednesday, January 15, against the background of his official visit to the Polish capital.
“The award of our state “Savior City” for Warsaw. Today, he handed it over to the mayor of the Polish capital, Rafal Tszaskowski,” the message reads.
The head of state recalled that Warsaw sheltered and provided assistance to a large number of Ukrainian refugees who were forced to flee during the full-scale Russian invasion.
“We appreciate all the help that Warsaw provided to our people in the most difficult time. Thank you for your solidarity with the Ukrainian people, for your strong support for our defense,” said Volodymyr Zelenskyi.
The “Saviour City” award was also previously awarded to Rzeszów, Przemyśl, Lublin and Chelm.
It was presented by Volodymyr Zelenskyi during his official visit to Poland in April 2023.
In addition to Polish cities, this distinction was also awarded to Paris, Prague and Vilnius.
