On January 27, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in Poland to attend events marking the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, one of the largest Nazi death camps.
During his visit to Poland, Zelenskyy is scheduled to hold bilateral meetings, including talks with President of the European Council António Costa and French President Emmanuel Macron.
This information was reported by multiple Ukrainian media by the President’s spokesperson, Serhii Nykyforov.
On the evening of January 26, ahead of International Holocaust Remembrance Day and the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, Zelenskyy participated in a memorial ceremony to pay tribute to Holocaust victims.
On January 27, the world honors the memory of the victims of the Holocaust. It was the Nazis' deliberate attempt to erase an entire nation—to kill all its people and destroy everything that reminded the world of the Jewish nation. Six million victims.
