According to the prime minister, the Russian attack on Ukraine was a violation of the principles of sovereignty, sovereignty and independence of states. “If Ukraine falls, it’s only a matter of time before someone else is threatened. It makes no sense to pretend that Ukraine will be enough for Putin. We all want peace. And that is why we must not be afraid to stand up to those who threaten the peace,” declared the prime minister.

“If anyone wanted proof of how monstrous the Russian regime is and that it will stop at nothing, just look at how Vladimir Putin liquidates his political opponents,” stated Fiala. A week ago, Alexei Navalny, one of the most famous critics of the Putin regime, died under unclear circumstances in a Russian prison colony beyond the Arctic Circle.

In the two years of the Russian invasion, Ukraine is clearly the leader in over 120,000 war crimes committed by the Russians, Ukrainian Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin said today at a conference called Ukraine 2024. This was reported by the DPA agency. At the same forum, the head of Ukraine’s presidential office, Andriy Jermak, criticized international organizations for not doing enough to improve the situation.

“There is no crime that Russian forces in Ukraine have not committed during the war,” Kostin said. He added that the courts had issued 80 verdicts in trials involving possible war crimes during the war.


During the two years of the war with Russia, 31,000 Ukrainian soldiers died, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi said at a press conference in Kyiv today. He did not want to comment on the number of wounded in the Ukrainian army, so as not to provide important information to the Russian side. According to Zelensky, 180,000 Russians died. Earlier, the Ukrainian leader claimed that Russian losses were five times higher than Ukraine’s. Such claims cannot be immediately independently verified in an ongoing war.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy would like to organize a peace summit in Switzerland this spring, where Ukraine would work out a peace plan together with its partners.

According to Lipavsky, Putin launched a neo-colonial war against Ukraine two years ago. Russian aggression aimed at breaking Ukraine has lasted even longer, ten years, the minister pointed out, pointing to Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014. Ukraine has the right to self-defense and restoration of territorial integrity, including Crimea. The Czech Republic will stand by Ukraine and provide it with all the necessary assistance as long as it is needed, and supports its integration into NATO and the EU for the sake of European security. “Russian efforts to change state borders by force must be repelled in the interest of a free and democratic world,” added Lipavský.

Minister of the Interior Vít Rakušan (STAN) also said on the X network today that Czech support for Ukraine must continue. According to Minister of Agriculture Marek Výborny (KDU-ČSL), Putin’s regime is criminal. “Ukraine defends us too! and we must not leave her in it!” he wrote on the X network.

The future of Ukraine also determines the future of the Czech Republic. On the occasion of honoring the memory of the victims of Russian aggression against Ukraine, Senate President Miloš Vystrčil (ODS) said this today.

“One of the things they can help with is that they get involved in life in the Czech Republic in all the dimensions that such a life in the Czech Republic brings, and that thus we will support Ukraine together,” he said to the Ukrainians living in the Czech Republic. Long-term support for Ukraine is more demanding for the Czech Republic than help at one given moment, and the cooperation of the Ukrainians is thus crucial, he said.

In addition to Vystrčil, the Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies Markéta Pekarová Adamová (TOP 09), chargé d’affaires of the Ukrainian Embassy Vitaly Usaty and several other MPs and senators also took part in the memorial service at the monument to the Ukrainian poet Taras Ševčenko on Náměstí Kinsky in Prague.

Pekarová Adamová recalled thatthe us aggression against Ukraine started at the moment of the Russian invasion of Crimea. “We have Ukrainians to thank for living our daily lives here, which have not been turned upside down like our Ukrainian friends have been,” she said. According to her, the outcome of the conflict in Ukraine will decide peace in the Czech Republic.

Alena Schillerová, vice-president and head of the parliamentary club of the ANO movement, stated on the X network, that she is proud of the support Ukraine receives from the Czech Republic. She believes in an early end to aggression, she added.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine began the year before last on February 24. Two years of war have killed or maimed thousands of Ukrainian civilians and displaced millions of Ukrainians. Both sides are estimated to have lost tens of thousands of soldiers killed and maimed in the fighting.
