Czech Republic will not send troops to Ukraine: what Babis said after the meeting in Paris

Czech Republic and support for Ukraine

According to Главком: The Czech Republic does not plan to send its troops to Ukraine, but will continue the ammunition initiative provided it is financed by other states, said Prime Minister of the Czech Republic Andrej Babis. He made this statement after the meeting of the 'coalition of the willing' held on January 6 in Paris. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also participated in the meeting.

Andrej Babis noted that the Czech Republic, like several other countries, does not plan to send its military as part of the peacekeeping mission.

“We will not be rolling back this initiative,” he emphasized.

He clarified that no funds from Czech citizens will be invested in the ammunition initiative. This statement indicates continued active support from the Czech Republic in the context of security initiatives, but without direct military involvement.

Meeting of the leaders of the 'coalition of the willing'

The meeting of the leaders of the 'coalition of the willing' was an important event that allowed for discussions on further steps in the security sphere. On January 7, in Paris, the continuation of work on security guarantees is planned, which confirms the interest of the international community in the stability of the region.

It is important to note that the Czech Republic's position of not sending its troops to Ukraine reflects a general trend among European countries that seek to support Ukraine in its struggle without involving their armies in conflicts. The emphasis on financing the ammunition initiative by other states also highlights the necessity of international solidarity in addressing security issues concerning the region.
