PM Babiš welcomes Poland's role in Ukraine peace talks as voice for Visegrad Four

Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš (ANO) has welcomed the agreement on European representation in Ukraine peace negotiations, saying Poland’s participation ensures that the Visegrad Four countries will have a voice at the table. The European delegation will include France, Germany, Italy, Poland, the United Kingdom and EU institutions. Babiš described the composition as balanced but stressed that Europe must agree with the United States on a common negotiating strategy. Opposition leader Vít Rakušan (Mayors and Independents) also welcomed Poland’s involvement, while former Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský (Civic Democrats) warned that Russia must not gain through diplomacy what it failed to achieve militarily.
