1. (CNN) -- The Prime Ministers of Poland, Slovenia and the Czech Republic have arrived in the capital Kyiv for a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal to confirm the European Union's "unequivocal support" for Ukraine amid the ongoing Russian invasion.

Late on Tuesday, Ukraine's Shmyhal said they had arrived in the city on behalf of the EU Council. He praised the "courage of true friends" and said the leaders would discuss "support of Ukraine and strengthening sanctions against the Russian aggression," on a Twitter post.

Poland's Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki announced his arrival to the Ukrainian capital on Twitter, saying, "It is here, in war-torn Kyiv, that history is being made. It is here, that freedom fights against the world of tyranny. It is here that the future of us all hangs in the balance. EU supports UA (Ukraine), which can count on the help of its friends -- we brought this message to Kyiv today."

Zelensky welcomed the Prime Ministers in a video posted on his Telegram channel, telling them the "visit to Kyiv at this difficult time for Ukraine is a strong sign of support. We really appreciate it."...

The purpose of the visit is "to confirm the unequivocal support of the entire European Union for the sovereignty and independence of Ukraine and to present a broad package of support for the Ukrainian state and society," a government spokesperson said.

They said the trip to Kyiv had been organized in agreement with European Council President Charles Michel and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and added that the international community would be informed about the delegation visit through international organizations, including the United Nations.

"At such breakthrough times for the world, it is our duty to be where history is forged; because it is not about us, but about the future of our children who deserve to live in a world free from tyranny," Morawiecki said in a Facebook post on Tuesday....

2. On a Twitter post, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal praised the "courage of true friends" and said the EU leaders would discuss "support of Ukraine and strengthening sanctions against the Russian aggression". Talking about "courage of true friends", Shmyhal should ask the two-faced, "gas-emitting" White House lying coward, perhaps, in this way: "Where are you hiding now? Will you come here to show us the 'courage of true friends' while we are still alive?" 😇
