Czech President Petr Pavel has given the green light for 60 Czech citizens to enlist in the Ukrainian Armed Forces after his office received 181 applications from Czechs wanting to fight for Ukraine. According to reports, 60 men have already been granted such permission.
In the Czech Republic, citizens can’t just pack up and join a foreign army as they need the president’s official approval. There’s an option where men can go to Ukraine to fight without prior authorization but they can later apply for a pardon to avoid criminal charges after they return home. The process must be rubber-stamped by Prime Minister Petr Fiala.
The news didn’t sit well in Moscow. Russian foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova lashed out at President Pavel arguing the Czech government treats these 60 volunteer soldiers as “disposable stuff”
It is worth noting that prime minister Fiala recently confirmed the Czech initiative to supply over half a million artillery rounds to Ukraine remains on schedule, with the ambitious goal set to be reached by year’s end.
