Zelensky thanks President Pavel for Czech shells-for-Ukraine initiative

Czech President Petr Pavel met with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky in Vilnius, Lithuania on Thursday, where the two heads of state are attending the Three Seas Summit. The Ukrainian president thanked Mr. Pavel for the Czech initiative to purchase artillery shells for Ukraine from outside the EU, which has helped the war-torn country with its shortage of ammunition. The heads of state also discussed Ukraine's other current needs.

The Three Seas is an initiative bringing together 13 countries in Central and Eastern Europe along a north-south axis from the Baltic to the Adriatic and Black Seas, with a view to creating a regional dialogue on matters affecting member states.
