Peter Paul called on the allies for direct and clear action.

Czech President Peter Pavel has called for "direct and clear" support for Ukraine during his visit to Lviv.

He wrote this on the X network.

The Czech president began his third visit to Ukraine from Lviv on Thursday. Pavel published a video from the Lychakiv military cemetery, where he laid flowers at the graves of fallen Ukrainian servicemen.

The Czech leader wrote that in the face of a difficult winter, Ukraine needs clear action, not sympathy from partners.

"Ukraine has been resisting Russian aggression on a daily basis for almost four years, and the rows of graves of heroes who defended their country and their families demonstrate its worst consequences. At this moment Ukraine needs not our sympathy, but perseverance and direct and clear support," Pavel said.
