The Visegrad Group (V4) countries, including Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary, have announced that they will not be sending troops to Ukraine. Instead, they have agreed to provide assistance in various forms such as military, humanitarian, and financial aid. The decision was made after a meeting of the V4 leaders in Prague.
During the meeting, Czech PM Petr Fiala stated, “Despite their agreement on Ukraine’s need for help, they are willing to offer assistance in different forms.” This includes the Czech Republic and Poland providing military aid, while Hungary and Slovakia are offering humanitarian and financial aid. The V4 leaders emphasized the importance of finding a peaceful solution to the Ukraine crisis.
Slovakia’s Robert Fico called for an immediate ceasefire and peace talks, while Hungary’s Viktor Orban also stressed the need for peace talks as soon as possible. The V4 members also agreed not to change EU founding treaties but to adjust common agricultural policy to reduce bureaucracy and regulation, as mentioned by Fiala.
The V4 countries’ decision not to send troops to Ukraine reflects their commitment to supporting the country through other means. The focus is on providing aid and assistance in different forms to help resolve the crisis and promote peace in the region.
