PRAGUE (Reuters) -Andrej Babis spoke to Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Thursday for the first time since he won last weekend's Czech election and began talks on forming a coalition with right-wing parties that is pledging less support for Kyiv.
Prime Minister Petr Fiala's outgoing centre-right government was quick to send tanks and military aid to Ukraine when Russia invaded in 2022, and hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians have relocated to the Czech Republic to flee the conflict.
