The President of the Czech Republic, Petr Pavel, arrived in the Lviv region for a working visit. This was reported by the head of the Lviv Regional Military Administration, Maksym Kozytskyi. According to him, during the meeting, the consequences of the recent attack on Lviv and the issues of further cooperation between Ukraine and the Czech Republic were discussed.
“We had an important conversation. The president inquired about the consequences of the attack that Lviv experienced today and emphasized that the Czech Republic remains our steadfast strategic partner and ally,” Kozytskyi wrote in a telegram.
Main Highlights of the Visit and Participants of the Meeting
The Ukrainian delegation participating in the negotiations included Minister of Veterans Affairs Natalia Kalmykova and Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Oleksandr Mishchenko. Kozytskyi reported that several important events involving the Czech delegation are planned, but details are not being disclosed for security reasons.
It is worth noting that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion by Russia, the Czech Republic has provided military assistance to Ukraine amounting to nearly 837 million dollars. Among other things, over 3.7 million large-caliber artillery shells were purchased, of which 1.3 million were delivered in 2025.
Context of the Visit and Czech Position
According to Czech media, this is already the third visit of Petr Pavel to Ukraine as president. In April 2023, he visited Kyiv and Dnipro, and during his previous trip in March 2025, he arrived in Odesa from Moldova and then proceeded to the capital of Ukraine. In both cases, Pavel met with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other high-ranking officials.
It should be added that this visit by the President of the Czech Republic took place less than a week after the arrival of Czech Foreign Minister Petr Mačínka. During the meeting with his Ukrainian counterpart Andrii Sybiha, the continuation of ammunition supplies to Ukraine within the Czech initiative was confirmed; however, the Czech Republic does not plan to allocate its own funds for this under the new government of Prime Minister Andrej Babiš. The new government takes a more cautious stance on supporting Ukraine than the previous cabinet of Petr Fiala.
Other details of Petr Pavel’s working visit are currently not being disclosed.
