He said that Ukraine has offered personnel and material assistance to its emergency services. The disastrous floods and winds in Czechia have left hundreds of thousands of people without power and high water has begun to destroy homes.

Ukrzaliznytsia, a Ukrainian railway company, reported that due to the floods in Poland and Czechia, railway operators in both countries temporarily cancelled a number of train routes.
