(MENAFN- UkrinForm) In an interview with the CTK news agency, cited by Radio Prague International , Pavel stressed that the Czech Republic could and should take part in the implementation of such a plan, given that it has been an active participant in the peace process and has supported Ukraine since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion, Ukrinform reports.

However, he noted that the scope of participation would depend on the specific terms of any agreement.

According to Pavel, creating a demilitarized zone would be a logical step. He also suggested that, in the interest of reaching a ceasefire agreement, Ukraine might have to make territorial concessions.

Earlier, Czech Defense Minister Jana Cernochova said that no concrete plans are currently being considered at the government level. She explained that if Czech troops are eventually deployed as part of a peacekeeping mission after a ceasefire, it would follow the model used in the former Yugoslavia conflict, meaning Czech forces would not be stationed directly on the front line.
