Klitschko Met With Prime Minister Of Czech Republic: Support For Ukraine Will Not Weaken

The head of the Association of Cities of Ukraine, the mayor of Kyiv Vitali Klitschko met with the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic Petr Fiala in Prague. Issues of further support to Ukraine in the economic, humanitarian and military spheres were discussed. This is reported by the Kyiv City State Administration’s website.

"We are grateful to the Czech Republic, which today presides over the European Union, for supporting Ukraine's European aspirations and for all the help you provide. We are also grateful for the attitude towards Ukrainians - your state provided temporary shelter to 460,000 Ukrainian citizens fleeing the war. We appreciate this. Today we are also fighting for the freedom of every European, in fact. You should not think that Russia will stop if it conquers Ukraine. This is not so. Therefore, the unity of the civilized world around Ukraine is a guarantee of peace in all of Europe," Vitali Klitschko emphasized.

Petr Fiala assured of further assistance to Ukraine and noted that the Czech society's support for Ukrainians has not weakened. Although Russia is trying to put pressure on the public opinion of the European countries with high prices for energy resources and massive propaganda.

"From the very beginning of Russia's aggression - from 2014 - the Czech Republic understood that it was necessary to support Ukraine with all its might. Because Putin will go further. And it is not an exaggeration that you are fighting today also for us, the Europeans. And we must endure this difficult period, which is waiting for us in winter, and in the future we will help you," the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic emphasized.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, during his visit to Prague, Vitali Klitschko took part in a meeting of the bureau of the European Committee of the Regions, where the topic of rebuilding and restoring Ukraine was discussed. During the meeting, Klitschko was awarded an honorary certificate of a member of the European Committee of the Regions.

Vitali Klitschko also addressed the permanent representatives (ambassadors) of 27 EU member states under the European Union at the residence of the mayor of Prague.
