Czech politicians have strongly condemned Monday’s attack on a children's hospital in Kyiv. President Pavel said the strike against innocent children was proof that Putin would stop at nothing to achieve his goals. “This attack on the most vulnerable members of society is inexcusable” Pavel wrote on the network X, adding “ I am on my way to a NATO summit, where I expect members to reach a consensus that we all see Russia as the greatest threat to our security, for which we must be thoroughly prepared."
Strong words of condemnation also came from Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky, who said that while “useful idiots are raving about peace with Putin, he is sending missiles at a children’s hospital.” Other members of cabinet described the attack as ruthless and inhumane.
Widespread Russian airstrikes on Monday hit over 50 civilian targets in different cities leaving at least 36 dead and 125 wounded. Among the targets hit were residential buildings, a commercial center and two medical facilities in Kyiv, Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih, Slovyansk and Kramatorsk. More than 40 missiles of different types were reportedly used in the attack.

The Czech Ministry of Health has proposed making it compulsory for companies to take an interest in protecting the health of their employees and offering them welfare and prevention programs, the news site Novinky.cz reported. The aim is to reduce the incidence of civilisation diseases and extend the period during which people are fit and able to work. The measures would involve providing various examinations, paid vaccinations and prevention programs depending on the type of occupation, its demands and potential health risks. Employers and doctors are opposed to the idea arguing that the current number of physicians will not cover the needs of companies.
