The meeting of diplomats from the two countries was held "on the sidelines" of the Munich Security Conference.
According to the announcement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, the sides noted the active political dialogue between Kiev and Prague and discussed issues on the agenda of Ukrainian-Czech cooperation.
Mr. Stropnicky also said that the Czech Republic supports Ukraine's territorial integrity, as well as Kiev's desire to integrate into Europe and maintain sanctions against Russia.

EU countries imposed sanctions on Russia in 2014 amid the Ukraine crisis. Russia took retaliatory measures and pursued import substitution.
