One of the main tasks of the Czech foreign policy is to keep Russia as far as possible from the Czech borders.
Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky stated this in an interview with the ČTK agency.
He says that if Ukraine loses, the Czech Republic will collide with Russia literally on the borders of the European Union.

— We must realize that in Ukraine we are holding back Russian imperial expansion, which is sharpening its teeth on the region of Central Europe, the Baltic countries, — Lipavsky said.
The head of the Czech Foreign Ministry says that any assistance to Ukraine is beneficial to European security.
— If Ukraine falls, we will face Russia a little closer — literally on the borders of the European Union, very close to the Czech Republic, and we must not allow this, — Lipavsky explained.
According to the minister, war fatigue, which is remembered from time to time in the West, has different manifestations. However, he says, if Western states “get tired of their own security, they will lose both freedom and sovereignty”.
The head of the Czech Foreign Ministry says that today neither Ukraine nor Moldova are ready for full membership in the European Union, however, they demonstrate high motivation, so they need help.
— Our help is not motivated by pure altruism and the fact that we find it pleasant. It is in our own interests to help these countries get as close to us as possible, — he added.
Previously, Czech President Petr Pavel said that during 2024 there could be a “significant shift” on the battlefield in Ukraine, which, in particular, will depend on the elections in the USA and Russia.
