Ukrainian Prime Minister Svyatoslav Koretsky met with Czech First Deputy Prime Minister Karel Havlíček and representatives of nearly 50 Czech companies visiting Kyiv. The negotiations focused on joint economic initiatives across key sectors.
The parties paid special attention to the energy sector, expanding existing agreements, and implementing new projects under the Ukraine Facility program. Discussions also covered the recovery of the medical sector and the supply of additional bridge structures to swiftly restore logistics.

In addition to infrastructure, the participants touched upon mutually beneficial defense cooperation and the involvement of Czech partners in social projects. Specifically, they discussed expanding the Shelter Coalition following the successful construction of an underground shelter in a school in the Dnipropetrovsk region with Prague's support.
