Rau held talks with his Ukrainian counterpart Dmytro Kuleba.

The Polish foreign minister's trip came after what public broadcaster Polish Radio described as destabilizing moves by Russia, the escalation of tensions in eastern Ukraine, the concentration of Russian troops near the border with Ukraine, and an intensification of Russian propaganda.

Rau and Kuleba were also to discuss a strategic partnership between their two countries, and economic and security cooperation, Polish Radio's IAR news agency reported.
