Details: Zelenskyy revealed that representatives of Ukraine and Czechia are discussing the next steps within the framework of the aviation coalition, specifically the creation of a joint Ukrainian-Czech F-16 training school.

"Obviously, for security reasons, we cannot currently open such a base in Ukraine, as Russian strikes continue daily. That’s why we are working with partners to open such schools outside Ukraine – and this will happen," Zelenskyy said.

He added that Czechia had agreed to support the initiative.

Background:

• President Zelenskyy arrived in Czechia on Sunday for an official visit. 
• After meeting with President Pavel, he also announced that Ukraine could receive 1.8 million artillery shells in 2025 under the Czech ammunition initiative.
