Czech Republic backs diplomatic path to resolve Ukraine war
(MENAFN) The Czech government believes the world is moving closer to a diplomatic solution to the conflict in Ukraine, Foreign Minister Petr Macinka stated. Speaking on Monday, Macinka noted that recent developments signal steps toward negotiations, emphasizing that Ukraine has made significant concessions, while the next move rests with Russia.
“I am glad that the world is finally moving toward a diplomatic solution, which the Czech government also supports,” Macinka said, highlighting US President Donald Trump’s role as a key mediator capable of facilitating dialogue between both sides. He added that progress will require a constructive approach from all parties, cautioning that Trump’s patience “is not infinite.”
Macinka also suggested that robust and realistic Western security guarantees could provide Ukraine with an alternative to NATO membership and help prevent a recurrence of Russian aggression.
The remarks followed talks in the US between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Trump, which the US president described as “wonderful,” noting only one or two sticking points remain before a peace agreement. Radek Vondracek, chairman of the Czech parliament’s foreign affairs committee, expressed optimism, saying there is “real hope for real peace” and praising Trump’s tireless negotiation efforts.
Key challenges include territorial disputes, particularly Russia’s demand for Ukraine to cede the Donbas region, parts of which are not fully under Moscow’s control. Zelenskyy confirmed that the peace plan proposes 15-year US security guarantees for Ukraine, with potential extensions, and envisions a broader agreement signed by Ukraine, the US, Russia, and European partners.
