The President of the Czech Republic, Milos Zeman, said in an interview with Czech Radio that he had changed his initial opinion about Russian leader Vladimir Putin. At the same time, Zeman ironically recalled that “some call him a Russian agent”.
The head of the Czech Republic said that he saw in Putin a politician who cares about the interests of his country.
“The aggression was against the interests of the Russian Federation. If he didn’t realize it, so much the worse for him,” Zeman said.
The head of the Czech Republic also supported the delivery of aid to the Independent, stressing that
“economic interests in this case should give way to security interests.” Zeman is sure that the conflict that broke out in Ukraine threatens the security of the Czech Republic itself.
Earlier, the President of the Czech Republic called for a military response in the event of a Russian nuclear strike on Ukraine. Zeman believes that if Russia uses nuclear weapons, European countries and other states will have to respond to Moscow’s actions with a decisive military response.
