Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "I had a very meaningful and constructive call with my Czech colleague  Petr Macinka.

I congratulated my counterpart on his appointment and thanked for Czechia’s unwavering support for our country — political, economical, military, and humanitarian.

First and foremost, we discussed our bilateral relations. We agreed to turn over the page of the recent exchanges of statements and strengthen our political dialogue at the level of foreign ministries based on mutual respect and strategic partnership. Ukraine and Czechia are genuine friends and allies.

I informed my colleague of Ukraine’s strong interest in further defense cooperation with Czechia, as well as Czech engagement in Ukraine’s recovery. Our cooperation should be mutually beneficial.

I also informed my colleague about the battlefield situation and Russia’s relentless brutal attacks on our energy system. 

We discussed recent peace efforts and agreed that there is no alternative to forcing Russia to stop its aggression as soon as possible.

I invited Petr Macinka to Ukraine and he confirmed his trip in the nearest future. I look forward to hosting my Czech colleague in Kyiv".
