The Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has urged the leaders of the European Union countries, the U.S and Britain to visit the Ukrainian capital in a show of solidarity.
He said the German Chancellor, French President, U.S. President, British Prime Minister, and other EU government leaders should travel to Kiev, look into the eyes of the women and children there and help them to save lives and their independence.
According to him, Ukrainians were fighting for the values of Europe and the western world.
