KYIV (Reuters) – Czech President Petr Pavel was in Ukraine’s Odesa as Russia pounded the city with several waves of drones in an overnight attack, Ukrainian officials said on Friday.
Odesa Regional Governor Oleh Kiper said President Pavel visited the Black Sea port on Thursday.
“Significantly, it was during our meeting that the enemy once again massively attacked the Odesa region,” Kiper said on the Telegram messenger app. “This is another reminder for the whole world: the war is on and Ukraine continues to fight.”
Kiper posted pictures of Pavel and various Ukrainian officials in Odesa and said they discussed Black Sea security.
