Czech president-elect Petr Pavel urges the West to step up its military aid to Ukraine, facing a Russian invasion since February 2022. "I think we should be able to provide Ukraine with all the weapons it needs to resume control over its own territory," he says, underlying his support in their NATO membership bid. Pavel, a former NATO general, won the country's presidential election on Saturday. He will replace pro-Russian, pro-Chinese incumbent Milos Zeman in March. SOUNDBITES
