Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in Prague on Sunday for a two-day visit, Czech politicians said.
Czech news agency CTK said a plane carrying Zelensky and his wife Olena landed in Prague before midday (1000 GMT).
Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky posted a picture on X of him welcoming Zelensky with a handshake.
President Petr Pavel’s office said he would receive the Ukrainian first couple at Prague Castle on Sunday afternoon.
The Czech Republic — a member of the European Union and NATO — has provided Ukraine with substantial humanitarian and military support since it was invaded by Russia in February 2022.
It has received over half a million war refugees and supplied the Ukrainian army with equipment, including tanks, armoured vehicles, and helicopters.
Prague also backs a European drive to supply artillery ammunition to Ukraine, financed largely by NATO allies.
This is designed to make up in part for the EU’s not meeting its promise to supply one million shells to Ukraine.
Pavel, a former NATO general, last received Zelensky in Prague in 2023.
Prime Minister Petr Fiala and the speakers of both parliament chambers said they would meet Zelensky in Prague on Monday.
