Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky who visited Prague to drum up support for his country’s quest to join NATO, received assurances of continued moral and military support from Czech top officials. President Petr Pavel said it was not just in Czechia’s best interest to support Ukraine, but it was its moral duty to do so, since Ukraine was striving for a place in the democratic fold of nations just as Czechia itself did not so long ago. During his meeting with the Ukrainian leader on Friday morning, Prime Minister Petr Fiala said Ukraine could count on continued Czech support on the political, military and humanitarian level. He pledged to deliver more military helicopters and ammunition, help train Ukrainian pilots and provide simulators for training in Ukraine.
