The Czech President Petr Pavel, speaking after meeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in Prague on Sunday, said the so-called Czech ammunition initiative financed by 11 countries was on track to deliver 1.8 million shells to Kyiv this year.

"The time has come to start considering a broad coalition of willing for just peace in Ukraine. “Peace” on terms of the aggressor is called a capitulation and would only encourage all current and future aggressors. Free world must stand up to the evil."

A Czech-led initiative to supply Ukraine with large-calibre ammunition has delivered 1.6 million shells and will continue, Czech President Petr #Pavel said on Saturday, a year after he announced the drive to help Ukraine in its war against Russia.

#Czech president Petr #Pavel clarifies remarks about "exchanging Ukrainian territories for peace" in response to Kyiv's outrage.

"I have never questioned that we should support #Ukraine in restoring its territorial integrity, that this is the ultimate goal. We just have to be realistic about the time horizon and the cost of achieving that goal. Defeating #Russia in Ukraine at the cost of killing half the Ukrainian population is probably not a victory."

With #Russia-friendly populist leaders such as Prime Minister Viktor #Orban of #Hungary disrupting European unity over the war and with the fatigue of 31 months of conflict “growing everywhere,” #Ukraine “will have to be realistic” about its prospects of recovering territory occupied by Russia, Mr. #Pavel said in an interview.

“The most probable outcome of the war,” he said, “will be that a part of Ukrainian territory will be under Russian occupation, temporarily.”

The #Prague-led ammunition initiative is delivering supplies to #Ukraine on schedule, #Czech Foreign Minister Jan #Lipavsky said.

Czech President Petr #Pavel announced on July 12 that the Czech Republic will send Ukraine 50,000 shells in July and August. From September to the end of the year, Ukraine will receive 80,000 to 100,000 rounds per month, Pavel said.

In this thread I'll explain why I believe Pavel Durov's arrest in France may have been deliberate on his part and a well-orchestrated flight to safety.

First facts, then speculation, then the open questions.

Last week, after a 19-month investigation to identify who blew up the Nord Stream gas pipeline between #Russia and #Germany in September 2022.

#Czech President Petr #Pavel has said the pipeline may have been a legitimate target. If, that is, #Ukraine was even behind its sabotage.

"When an armed conflict is waged, it is waged not only against military objectives, but also against objectives of a strategic nature. And pipelines are a strategic goal," Pavel said

Any peace deal reached between #Ukraine and #Russia likely won't be fair, #Czech President Petr #Pavel said Wednesday — but justice should be the objective nonetheless

"A just peace, if we were to imagine it on a scale from 100 percent to nothing, would mean the restoration of Ukraine's full control over its territory, including Crimea. It would require that the aggressor pay compensation for war damages. But that's probably a fantasy, we can all agree," Pavel said

Petr #Pavel, President of #Czechia, believes that #Ukraine’s #NATO accession should not depend on regaining full control over all its territory.

"If there is a demarcation, even of some administrative border, then we will be able to recognize this administrative border as a temporary state border and allow Ukraine to join NATO with the territory it will control at that moment," he explained.

The #Czech Republic's President #Pavel says in an German #ARD interview that #Ukraine will be getting 180,000 artillery shells in June.

"I, along with our Prime Minister Petr #Fiala, assume that the first 180,000 pieces of ammunition will be delivered in June, and there are already contracts for a further five to six-digit number of grenades."

The #Czech Republic is trying to deliver ammunition to #Ukraine “as fast as possible,” said Czech President Petr #Pavel.

“Production of the required number of shells takes time. This requires an increase in our production capacity. But Ukraine needs shells now. We can’t wait for European companies, so we try to find ammunition wherever we can. Put it to Ukraine as quickly as possible. But in parallel, we increase our own capacities,”

President Petr #Pavel announced that it was possible to collect the necessary amount as part of the #Czech plan to purchase 800,000 artillery shells for #Ukraine. But this is contradicted by national security adviser Tomáš #Pojar, who coordinates this initiative. "He was probably talking about the first delivery, we haven't covered the entire initiative yet"

"So far we have managed to raise enough money to purchase the first shipment of 300000 artillery shells"

President of #Czech Republic Petr #Pavel said that all the needed funds to purchase ammunition to #Ukraine has been secured.

Pavel did not want to mention the amounts of individual states. "It probably wouldn't be fair to those states that contributed if we haven't discussed it with them," he said.

#French President Emmanuel #Macron threw his support behind a #Czech plan to deliver hundreds of thousands of artillery shells to #Ukraine from countries outside the #EU.

“The Czech initiative is extremely useful, we support it, we’ll participate in it,” Macron said in Prague Tuesday alongside Czech President Petr #Pavel. “It consists of looking for ammunition everywhere it is available and is compatible with the equipment we’ve delivered.”
