Petr Pavel

The Czech Republic supports Ukraine's accession to the European Union and urges its allies not to exclude the question of its membership in NATO as the most reliable guarantee of security.

This was stated by Czech President Petr Pavel during a press conference with Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv, Censor.NET reports.

"Regarding membership in the European Union, I want to emphasize that we clearly see Ukraine as part of the European family. And I am here to support you on your way to the EU both bilaterally and in Brussels," Pavel said.

He also called on Ukraine's allies not to give up on the idea of Ukraine joining NATO.

"We also call on all our allies and partners to keep the issue of Ukraine's membership in NATO on the table. It is undoubtedly the strongest and at the same time the cheapest guarantee of future peace," the Czech leader emphasized.
