Polish Journalists Engage in Kyiv Study Visit to Understand Ukrainian Perspectives
The Mieroszewski Centre and the Ukrainian Institute organized the sixth study visit for Polish journalists to Kyiv from November 2 to 6, 2026. The visit aimed to provide Polish media representatives with firsthand insights into the situation in Ukraine and Ukrainian perspectives on key issues affecting Polish-Ukrainian relations. The program included meetings with Ukrainian government officials, representatives of public institutions, and civil society organizations, as well as visits to towns affected by Russian occupation, such as Irpin, Bucha, and Borodianka. Discussions focused on Ukraine's security situation, Russian attacks on energy infrastructure, humanitarian challenges, and prospects for Polish-Ukrainian cooperation in defense, economic affairs, and foreign policy. History and historical memory, including ongoing search and exhumation efforts and archival cooperation, were also significant topics, addressing challenges arising from differing perceptions of their shared past.
