Pavel believes that Ukraine is ready to make painful concessions to end the war
Pavel said this during a joint press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The President of the Czech Republic emphasized that Ukraine has done a lot towards reaching an acceptable solution.
I believe that there are a number of painful concessions that Ukraine must make and is ready to make, provided that it leads to peace. And we must make every effort to ensure that all the work that was done during the preparation of these documents is not in vain.

In addition, the Czech leader said that the United States should play an important role in countering Russian aggression, and added that the EU cannot remain on the sidelines.
Unfortunately, it is a sad fact that without the United States there will be no solution to the war in Ukraine. And it is painful for Europe that the United States plays a key role. But this does not mean that Europe and European countries should be on the sidelines of these efforts.
As a reminder, Ukraine continues to negotiate with its European and American partners on a peace plan. Today, Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine and the United States are currently not on the same side on some issues of the peace agreement.
