Presidents of the Czech Republic and Slovakia arrived in Ukraine
They condemned the Russian attack on Ukrainian cities last night, calling it shameful
The new Czech President Petr Pavel and his Slovak counterpart Zuzana Chaputova have arrived in Ukraine on a joint visit.
The presidents arrived by train to the village of Nemishayeve (Bucha district), where they were met by, among others, the Czech ambassador to Ukraine and former Ukrainian ambassador to the Czech Republic Yevhen Perebyinis.
On his official Twitter account, Petr Pavel posted a photo of them in front of a damaged house:
"Zuzana Chaputova and I share the values of freedom and justice. It is hard to see with my own eyes that Ukrainians are paying the highest price for this, with the blood and lives of their citizens. The fight against the aggressor protects what unites us," commented Pavel.
Se @ZuzanaCaputova oba vnímáme hodnotu svobody a spravedlnosti. Je těžké vidět na vlastní oči, že Ukrajinci za ni platí cenu nejvyšší. Krev a životy vlastních občanů. V boji s agresorem chrání to, co je nám společné. Proto za nimi budeme stát. pic.twitter.com/85MS6DOfmj

"Last night's shameful attacks on several Ukrainian cities, including Uman and Dnipro, which killed innocent people, remind us that we cannot turn away," Chaputova wrote on her Facebook page.
During the visit, the presidents will meet with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and a number of other officials.
Background. As a reminder, the Czech Republic recently introduced its own "Magnitsky list," and Moscow Patriarch Kirill was the first to be included.
