Czech Embassy intends to return to Kyiv

This was reported by Novinky with reference to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic, Jan Lipavsky, Ukrinform saw.

"We want to return (diplomats) to Kyiv, we are working on it intensively now, we hope that it will be possible soon… We want to support Kyiv diplomatically. We want to be present in the capital," Lipavsky said.

At the same time, he would not specify any details until diplomats actually return to the Ukrainian capital.

The Minister expressed confidence that the immediate military threat, when the city was indeed in a state of emergency and a curfew was in place, has passed.

Lipavsky also promised maximum support so that refugees could return to Ukraine when the situation there stabilizes.

The Embassy of the Czech Republic in Kyiv was closed on February 24, the day of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Later, Czech diplomats also left the Consulate General in Lviv.
