What is the "Coalition of the Willing"?
The "Coalition of the Willing" is a term used to describe European countries that support Ukraine in its war against Russia, which invaded the country in 2022. In addition to more than 30 countries, the Czech Republic is also part of this initiative, which actively participated in joint negotiations between these states under the government of former Prime Minister Petr Fiala.
