President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and First Lady Olena Zelenska met with the Ukrainian community in Prague.
The Head of State emphasized that unity within Europe and among all of Ukraine’s key partners is crucial for achieving a just end to the war.
“First, we need to reach an unconditional ceasefire. Then, using that time, we must find steps that lead to a durable and just peace for Ukraine. Justice is important for Ukraine’s recovery and for people’s desire to live in Ukraine, to return to Ukraine,” said Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
The President thanked Czechia for its ongoing defense support – particularly for the artillery initiative, the decision to train Ukrainian F-16 pilots, and cooperation with Czech defense companies.
He also noted the development of bilateral economic cooperation and the steps being taken to increase trade between the two countries.
The President stressed that it is already time to think about Ukraine’s postwar reconstruction so that the state and businesses can work together with partners to rebuild in the future.
Other key topics of discussion included advocacy for Ukraine’s EU membership and attracting foreign investment.
