What do you need to know?
- The President of the Czech Republic, Petr Pavel, expressed his willingness to take part in an international military mission in Ukraine if a peace agreement with Russia is achieved.
- In his opinion, security guarantees for Ukraine might include a mineral resources agreement with the United States and stabilization military forces from European countries.
- Pavel also referred to Ukraine's membership in NATO, pointing out that the next U.S. administration might have a different stance on this issue compared to the current one.
What are the Czech plans in the context of Ukraine?
The President of the Czech Republic, Petr Pavel, emphasized in an interview with the portal "European Truth" that his country is prepared to participate in an international military mission in Ukraine if a peace agreement with Russia is reached. - We are part of this coalition now - Pavel noted, referring to the "coalition of the willing" nations that might send stabilization military forces to Ukraine.
President Pavel noted that different politicians might have varying views on sending troops to Ukraine, but he emphasized that "if a strong group of European nations is ready to provide Ukraine with security guarantees, I am convinced Czechia should be among them." - In reality, there are territories worldwide occupied by another state. But these occupations are not legally recognised. Yes, this situation may last for some time, but it is a matter of principle - Pavel said.
What about Ukraine's membership in NATO?
Pavel also addressed the issue of Ukraine's membership in NATO, pointing to former U.S. President Donald Trump's stance on the matter.
- We have already seen that the American president (Donald Trump, - ed.) rejected the option of Ukraine's rapid accession to NATO. If this becomes an obstacle to reaching a peace agreement, then so be it. After all, NATO membership is not a matter of a few months - declared the Czech president.
- Let's leave this issue open for the future, as politicians come and go. In three years, there will be a different government in the United States. And we may see a different point of view under the rule of a new administration - concluded President Pavel.
