Czech President Petr Pavel signed a law on Feb. 6 to extend the protection period for Ukrainian refugees.

The law also criminalizes unauthorized activities in favor of a foreign state and tightens requirements for Russian applicants seeking citizenship.

The legislative changes come as Czechia plays a key role in supporting Ukraine militarily.
