Czech Foreign Minister Petr Macinka this week discussed the war in Ukraine with his Ukrainian counterpart Andriy Sybiha, and subsequently received the new Russian ambassador to Czechia, Anna Ponomaryova. On Tuesday, Sybiha reported on the phone call with Macinka, during which he thanked Czechia for its support of Ukraine, which has now been defending itself against the Russian invasion for a fifth year. denik.cz ↗
According to available information, the ministers spoke about Czech assistance to Ukraine. The phone call came at a time when Czech diplomacy was simultaneously dealing with the arrival of the new Russian ambassador in Prague. Ponomaryova has officially held the position since the end of June, when she presented her credentials to President Petr Pavel at Prague Castle. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗
On Wednesday, during the introductory meeting, Macinka conveyed the Czech position on the war in Ukraine to the Russian ambassador. According to his own statement, he told her that the war against Ukraine must be ended, and he condemned the bombing of civilian targets. At the same time, it was stated that room for listening can only arise once the weapons fall silent. idnes.cz ↗
The meeting drew attention partly because, since the start of the Russian invasion, Czech politicians have almost never met with Russian representatives. Further developments will depend on whether Czech diplomacy follows up on the contact with Kyiv with concrete steps in aiding Ukraine, and on how it continues to shape communication with the Russian representation in Prague. lidovky.cz ↗
