Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala and President Milos Zeman reached an agreement that citizens of the country who volunteer to go to Ukraine will not be prosecuted for participating in the actions of a foreign army.
Fiala told reporters after meeting with Zeman that “due to the large number of applications, it is not possible to grant applicants individual approval,” Radio Prague International reported.
According to Fiala, about 300 people have approached the Czech President in recent days, interested in volunteering to take part in the hostilities in Ukraine. More than 100 people registered with the Ministry of Defense. According to the laws of the country, citizens of the Czech Republic are prohibited from serving in a foreign army. If they wish to join it, they must petition the President of the Republic for an exemption.
Recall, on February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin made an emergency appeal to the Russians and announced a special military operation in the Donbass. In his speech, he stated that “circumstances require decisive action from Russia” and stressed that “Russia will not allow Ukraine to have nuclear weapons.” In response to Russia’s actions, Western countries (USA, Canada, European Union, Great Britain, Japan) announced new, tougher sanctions against the Russian Federation, including financial and economic ones.
