On January 15, Czech President Petr Pavel began his visit to Ukraine at the Lychakiv Cemetery in Lviv., where Ukrainian soldiers killed in the war with Russia are buried. The visit was symbolic and an expression of Czech solidarity with Ukraine during the ongoing Russian aggression.
The Czech President then visited the Clinical Center for Pediatric Medicine in the Lviv region, a national pediatric oncology center. Each year, the facility treats over 20,000 children from across Ukraine.
Since the outbreak of the full-scale war, the center has also played a key role in evacuating seriously ill children abroad. During this time, it was reported that nearly 1,800 young patients requiring specialized treatment unavailable during wartime were transferred to medical facilities abroad.
During the visit, the Czech President was accompanied by the Mayor of Lviv, Andriy Sadovyi, and the head of the Lviv Regional Military Administration, Maksym Kozycki.
Petr Pavel’s visit to Lviv is in line with the consistent policy of the Czech Republic supporting Ukraine since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion – both at the political, humanitarian and military levels.
