Foreign Affairs Committee backs Trump’s peace efforts

The Foreign Affairs Committee of the Czech lower house has endorsed U.S. President Donald Trump’s efforts to end the war in Ukraine, while preserving the country’s statehood. The committee adopted the position on the proposal of its chairman Radek Vondráček (ANO) after roughly three hours of debate on Czech security interests, with support also coming from opposition MPs. The committee called for strengthening the Czech-U.S. transatlantic partnership and stated that peace in Ukraine and Europe is not possible without U.S. involvement.

Meanwhile, the committee rejected proposals by Barbora Urbanová (Mayors and Independents)  to bolster support for Ukraine’s defense against ongoing Russian aggression, including international assistance initiatives such as the Czech ammunition program. Vondráček noted that the chamber had already passed several resolutions supporting Ukraine and that this stance remained unchanged.
