Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy landed in Prague as part of a tour to drum up support for a fast track to NATO membership for Kyiv ahead of a summit next week
He said his country, engaged in the 17th month of a war against Russian invaders, needed much more than the general statement of more than 10 years' standing that the door to NATO was merely "open".
"We are talking about a clear signal, some concrete things in the direction of an invitation," Zelenskiy told an news conference alongside his Czech counterpart, Petr Pavel. "We need this motivation. We need honesty in our relations." The Czech Republic, a NATO member, has been a staunch supporter of Ukraine since the invasion in February 2022, supplying military aid and other help.
