The footage showed the two embracing and holding a meeting. Duda's aide told Reuters the meeting lasted nearly two hours and touched on Zelensky's U.S. visit as well as Polish and Ukrainian relations.

Zelensky told Congress on Wednesday (December 21) U.S. aid to his country was an investment in democracy as he invoked battles against the Nazis in World War Two to press for more assistance in the war against Russia.
