Czech President Petr Pavel is convinced that Czech troops should be part of the peacekeeping force in Ukraine after a peace agreement is reached. He said this during an interview with European Pravda, which was published on Saturday. The president also commented on the need to be pragmatic about Ukraine’s security concerns and the ways to think about guaranteeing long-term peace.

In the interview with European Pravda, President Pavel said that Czechia is already participating in the so-called “Coalition of the Willing”—a group of countries that are discussing a possible peacekeeping force on the ground in Ukraine after a full ceasefire is agreed upon.
