“This is 10 million crowns for humanitarian aid to the people of Ukraine. The reason why People in Need was chosen is that they have been operating in the area since 2014, where they have been dealing with the crisis since the separatist territories, “he presented the mayor’s proposal, which he submitted to the deputies.

Hrib has previously stated that Prague supports a united Ukraine and a free Kiev. Russia launched an air and attack on Ukraine on Thursday morning.

The proposal was appreciated by the heads of the embassy clubs across the spectrum. Furthermore, for example, the mayor of Prague 7, Jan Čižinský, supported aid to refugees.

“Already, there are specific people who are looking for housing assistance in Prague. We are showing that we stand behind Ukraine, that we are ready to help, “he said in plenary.

Ondřej Prokop (YES), for example, took the floor from the opposition, thanking Hřib for preparing the press. “Although we often disagree, we quickly found a perfect match on this,” he said, adding: “No one knows exactly what will happen in the next hours, days and weeks. Prague will try to help as much as possible for potential refugees. “

The municipality will also offer cooperation to the government.

The deputies who hold the dual role of MP, Bohuslav Svoboda (ODS) and Patrik Nacher (YES), also want to inform the Chamber of Deputies, which will sit on extraordinary events about the situation in Ukraine from 4 pm on Thursday.

It is interesting that the Ukrainian flag has not yet been flown on the metropolis building, unlike other important networks. “Historically, there was a notion that we did not display the flags of existing states at the town hall,” Hřib explained.

“Ukraine is still a sovereign state, I firmly hope that it will remain so,” added the mayor of Prague. According to him, the affiliation has already been expressed by the lighting of the Petrin Lookout Tower in Ukrainian colors.

In the end, however, the deputies decided that the flag of both Kiev and Ukraine would be flown. Deputy Minister for Transport Adam Scheinnherr (Prague himself) subsequently extended the proposal by hoisting flags on public transport vehicles.

The mushroom also suggested that the capital examine the termination of the partnership with Moscow and St. Petersburg, which has been suspended since 2014. “Apparently the time has come for the next step,” the mayor warned.

They approved the substitutable proposal in its entirety.
