Kyiv was on curfew, and there were loud explosions in the western suburbs at a time when the prime ministers of Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovenia were already talking to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky after arriving by train in this dangerous situation.
“You’re not alone,” wrote Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala on Twitter. “We admire how bravely you are fighting. You are fighting for your life, your country and your freedom … Our countries are next to you.”
