Poland welcomes the peaceful conduct of snap parliamentary elections in Ukraine on July 21 which in principle respected international electoral standards, according to a statement published by the Polish Foreign Ministry.

At the same time, Warsaw notes preliminary conclusions of the OSCE/ODIHR mission.

The Polish Foreign Ministry expressed hope that the elections will result in creating a stable majority in the Verkhovna Rada and establishing a new government which – together with President Volodymyr Zelensky – will accelerate the process of necessary reforms and continue the course towards strengthening Ukraine's relations with the EU and NATO.

"Poland continues to support Ukraine's European and Euro-Atlantic aspirations and its modernization efforts, as well as the country's independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity vis-a-vis Russia's aggressive actions," the statement said.

The ministry also expressed hope for the development of constructive relations with the new authorities of Ukraine.

According to tentative data, the pro-presidential Servant of the People party wins a landslide victory in snap parliamentary elections and gets the right to form a one-party government.
