WARSAW, Poland (AP) — The prime ministers of Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovenia have safely returned to Central Europe after visiting Kyiv to show support for Ukraine as it defends itself from Russia’s military invasion. Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala called Wednesday on as many countries as possible to equip Ukraine with large amounts of weapons quickly so the country can continue fighting off Russian forces. He and Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki of Poland and Prime Minister Janez Jansa of Slovenia went ahead with the hours-long train journey to Kyiv on Tuesday despite concerns about risks to their security while traveling through a war zone.
