Quote: "We have to take into account war fatigue and what it means for support from Western countries. It will decrease over time," Pavel said.
Details: He also mentioned the 2024 US presidential election and the expected focus on domestic politics.
"If US support decreases, support from a number of European countries will also decrease. Ukraine should take this into account," Pavel noted.
Therefore, in Pavel’s opinion, Ukraine will probably not be able to start any large and complex operations in 2024.
"This year is crucial for war development," the Czech president said.
According to Pavel, Western countries are now supplying Ukraine with the necessary weapons so that it can take a better starting position for any negotiations with the Russian Federation.
Background: Petr Pavel believes that the next few months are the best time for Ukraine to launch a counteroffensive against Russian troops in the occupied territories.

Czech President: Ukraine has only one attempt to conduct huge counteroffensive
Czech President Petr Pavel has suggested that Ukraine should use the opportunity for a counteroffensive this year, as it will be extremely difficult to get help from its allies for another attempt in the future.

Quote: "Many countries, many politicians expect some progress this year. I think that Ukraine will have only one attempt to launch a huge counteroffensive.
So if it decides to launch a huge counteroffensive and fails, it will be extremely difficult to get funding for the next one."
Details: Pavel specified that "this should happen within a few months".
The Czech President is convinced that "the window of opportunity is open this year".
In his opinion, "after next winter, it will be extremely difficult to maintain the current level of assistance".
"War fatigue is not only the depletion of human resources and equipment, the destruction of infrastructure in Ukraine, but also fatigue in the countries that provide assistance," Pavel said.
