US Secretary of State Antony Blinken met on Wednesday with Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky, according to a statement by the US Department of State.
Blinken recognised the tremendous support both the government of the Czech Republic and its citizens have shown to Ukraine through substantial donations of security and humanitarian assistance and for welcoming over 300,000 refugees into their country.
They agreed Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity must be respected, condemned the horrific atrocities committed by Russia’s forces and its military operation on Ukraine, and stressed the need to hold the Kremlin and its enablers accountable.
Blinken noted the United States looks forward to working closely with the Czech Republic during its upcoming presidency of the Council of the EU.
The two also discussed collaboration on defense, energy security, and human rights.
