Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal has received a special award dedicated to Ukrainian society at the official closing ceremony of the 30th Economic Forum in Karpacz, Poland.

The chairman of the Polish Sejm's foreign affairs commission, Marek Kuchcinski, presented the award to the head of the Ukrainian government, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

Jan Malicki, the head of the Center for East European Studies at the University of Warsaw, said that the award "is dedicated to the Ukrainian people for their endurance." This phrase received long applause from several hundred forum participants.

According to Malicki, the past few years have been difficult for Ukrainians given Russia's aggression, and the threat continues. "This is a society that is struggling," he said.

Receiving the award, Shmyhal said: "I thank Poland for solidarity, for supporting independent Ukraine."
