The member states of the Three Seas Initiative, known as the Three Seas, which includes 12 EU countries located between the Baltic, Black and Adriatic Seas, have created a new partnership format and given Ukraine partner status, said Polish President Andrzej Duda.
"We have decided to create a special, new type of partnership with the Three Seas Initiative - in addition to the strategic partnership - a partnership through participation. This is a new type of partnership that is designed not only for Ukraine. We gave it to Ukraine today, but we assume that the same partnership can divide those countries that are located in Central Europe and are not members of the European Union, but seek to join it, "said Duda.

This is the seventh summit of the Three Seas Initiative, and for the first time Ukraine took part in it.
The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi spoke at the summit on video communication and proposed to strengthen cooperation within the Trimor region, emphasizing the importance of logistics.
"The states of the Three Seas are our connection with the free world. The supply of weapons for Ukraine, fuel supplies, transport flows, green corridors for the export of Ukrainian food, migration of people - all this works through the territory of the member states of this initiative," he said. he.
