The West must resist Russia's imperial ambitions. This was stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic Jan Lipavsky at the GLOBSEC conference in Prague.
"We have to reach people before the Kremlin propaganda. Only a critical-minded, well-informed and sustainable society will be able to withstand the pressure of a hybrid war," he said.
According to him, there is one main issue for Europe.
"This question is how we will deal with Russia's aggression against the West. The podium from which I am speaking today bears the name of the late President of Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic Vaclav Havel. He once said, and I quote, "The problem with Russia is that it doesn't know exactly where it starts and where it ends." Simply put, Russia's imperial ambitions know no borders. If we don't install them," Lipavsky said.
He also believes that Russia's resistance is "a key part of a much larger struggle to preserve a world that lives in accordance with the UN Charter and international law."
"It is extremely important that we continue to live together in an environment where international law prevails, and not the right of the strong. Our security and prosperity depend on it," the Czech Foreign Minister said.
Recall that over the past few years, the Czech Republic has been pursuing an openly anti-Russian policy. In addition, Prague is one of the main initiators of the spread of Russophobia in Europe.
