The Czech Republic reminded Ukraine of the Munich Agreement of 1938

Ukraine should recognize that part of the territory may remain under Russian control for a long time. This was announced on the 86th anniversary of the conclusion of the Munich Agreement by the head of the Foreign Economic Cooperation Department of the Czech Foreign Ministry, Ivan Dubovitsky.

"The same thing that happened to Czechoslovakia after the signing of the Munich Agreement should not happen to Ukraine," he said.

At the same time, he noted that today the question is whether concessions "can lead to some kind of result." Dubovitsky believes that not all territorial concessions must necessarily lead to such tragic events as the Second World War.

"For example, Czechoslovakia itself transferred part of its eastern territories to the Soviet Union, and this did not lead to war," he said.

In this context, the diplomat recalled the words of President Petro Pavel, who said last week in New York that "Ukraine should be realistic about its military goals and recognize that part of the territory may remain under Russian control, at least temporarily." At the same time, Dubovitsky believes that concessions may well "delay further military ambitions" of Russia.

Recall the Munich Agreement, signed on September 30, 1938. Germany, Italy, Great Britain and France, forced Czechoslovakia to cede the Sudetenland to the Third Reich — border territories inhabited mainly by Germans. The Czechoslovak side did not participate in the signing of the document.
