Presidents Pavel and Zelensky discuss continued support for Ukraine and progress in peace talks

Czech President Petr Pavel spoke over the phone on Wednesday with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky. They discussed continued support for Ukraine which will be the main topic of Thursday’s EU summit in Brussels and progress in peace negotiations. According to the Czech president’s office, both leaders agreed it is in their shared interest for any peace agreement to deliver a dignified peace for Ukraine.

“President Zelensky thanked the Czech Republic and its citizens for their long-term support,” Prague Castle said. Zelensky last spoke with President Pavel two months ago. At that time, the presidents also discussed the Czech ammunition initiative, whose future is uncertain following the appointment of a new government led by Andrej Babiš (ANO).
