Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Hanna Maliar met with Minister of Defense of the Czech Republic Jana Černochová. The main topics discussed were issues of security and assistance to Ukraine in withstanding russian aggression.

Hanna Maliar noted that it was a meeting of friends who lend a shoulder to each other at a difficult moment. The Czech Republic consistently takes a firm position in all European institutions in supporting Ukraine, condemning the actions of the russian federation and providing assistance to our country in every possible way.

"The war in Ukraine is a threat to the entire continent. Today, our country is the shield of Europe, - stressed Hanna Maliar. - And the Czech Republic provides us with very serious military assistance. These weapons and ammunition are already used on the front line. With its help, our military destroys the occupiers."

Hanna Maliar noted that the Armed Forces of Ukraine heroically and selflessly defend their native land, have extraordinary motivation and strength to liberate all Ukrainian lands from the russian invaders.

"Just yesterday I returned from the area where our defenders are fighting the russian invaders. So my colleague asked whether the Ukrainian soldiers and the entire Ukrainian people would have enough strength to resist the russian invaders for a long time. I answered her with the words of the commander of the 92nd separate mechanized brigade. He said that he would not tire until the last Russian soldier was expelled from our territory. Ukrainians are ready to defend their country as long as it is necessary. For this we need more powerful weapons. Today we received confirmation from the Czech side that support in this direction will continue," the Deputy Minister of Defense emphasized.

The Czech Republic also helps Ukraine with the treatment of our wounded defenders and children who were forced to leave the temporarily occupied territories. This issue was also raised during the meeting. Joint work in such an important matter will expand.
