Chair of NATO Military Committee discusses security threats with head of Czech army in Prague

Chair of the NATO Military Committee Rob Bauer met with Karel Řehka, Chief of the Czech Army General Staff, in Prague on Wednesday to discuss current threats to the security of the alliance. Mr Bauer said at a press conference after the meeting that Ukraine needs to be supported for as long as it takes to win, as if Russia succeeds in its war against Ukraine, it would not be the end of uncertainty in Europe, but the beginning of even more uncertainty. He praised Czechia's support for Ukraine in the form of military equipment supplies, training of Ukrainian soldiers and welcoming of refugees.

Karel Řehka said that Bauer's visit to Czechia is an important event and an opportunity to bring a Czech perspective. In addition to Řehka, the chair of the NATO Military Committee is also meeting with Deputy Defence Minister Daniel Blažkovec and President Petr Pavel.
