The Czech Republic’s prime minister, Petr Fiala, who visited the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv together with his Polish and Slovenian counterparts, says the Ukrainians urgently need weapons to have a chance to face the invading Russian troops.
“Ukraine these days and weeks needs above all arms supply” Fiala says at a Prague airport after returning from Tuesday’s visit.
He says such supplies have to be delivered quickly by as many countries as possible and have to be massive.
“It must be done in days,” Fiala says.
“We have to realize that (the Ukrainians) do also fight for our independence, for our freedom and we have to support them. That’s the reason why we traveled there, to show them they’re not alone.”
