They got there by train:

The Polish, Czech and Slovenian prime ministers are travelling by train to Kyiv for talks with Ukraines president and prime minister.

They are travelling as representatives of the European Union and will present details of a concrete support package for Ukraine, Michal Dworczyk, the head of the Polish prime ministers office said.

The visit was arranged during the recent EU summit in Versailles, Dworczyk added.
The three leaders, who are accompanied by the head of Polands governing party, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, will present a broad package of EU support for Ukraine, he said.

Their train has already crossed the Polish-Ukrainian border enroute to Kyiv.

Dworczyk reiterated that Nato will not engage militarily in the war but would do all it can to help Ukraine against the Russian attack.

With any luck this will spook the Russian military into maintaining a ceasefire long enough for more civilians to flee. I can't imagine them getting the order to fire on the city right now, knowing that one missed shot might lead to full-on nato involvement.

I'm unfamiliar with governments of Slovenia and Czech Republic, but the Polish prime minister isn't the head of state, the Polish president is.

If anything, Poland, Finland, and the baltics need to strongly consider plowing up the old "broad gauge" rail.
