"We stand on the position that Crimea is under occupation today, and we say this not only in Kyiv and Warsaw, but also at international fora," the Polish president said.
He added that the sanctions imposed over Russian aggression should remain in place until Russia ceases occupation.
"The policy of sanctions must be resolutely pursued, and we will constantly appeal to European Union member states and other international communities in this regard," Duda said.
The Polish president noted that any change in borders post World War II is unacceptable and that the international community can never concede with this.
"And I hope that it never will," concluded Duda.
