Foreign Affairs Minister of Czech Republic Lubomir Zaoralek has said that Czech Republic is ready to accept for treatment Ukrainian military men and civilians who have been injured during the counter-terror operation on the east of Ukraine.

In the course of the talk with journalists in Dnipropetrovsk he said he understands how serious this problem is, and how close Dnipropetrovsk region is to the combat zone.
