The Czech Republic, following Europe, feared that Russia would reach an agreement without it. Europe should join the negotiations to resolve the conflict in Ukraine, Czech President Petr Pavel said. According to him, if the European countries do not present their own demands, Russia, the United States and China can agree "we will do without us". Pavel believes there is still a window of opportunity to participate in the negotiations, but it may close while EU countries try to agree on a common position.
