He also thanked Zelensky for the congratulations on his victory in the presidential elections and the invitation to come to Kyiv on a working visit.. It should be noted that Pavel announced his intention to visit Kyiv even before the first conversation with Zelensky, and even agreed to do this together with the President of Slovakia Zuzana Chaputova, who accepted the offer.

Petr Pavel in 2015 became the first head of the NATO Military Committee in the history of the Czech Republic and the countries of the former Soviet bloc. He takes a tough stance against the Russian invasion of Ukraine, advocates the Western orientation of the Czech Republic, while promoting patriotic narratives.
