Petr Fiala: “If we don't increase our effort fast enough and let the aggressor dictate its conditions, we won't end up well.”

Europe faces a historic test and has to be able to take care of itself: Nobody else will do it.

The results of the Alaska summit confirm that while the US and its allies are seeking paths to peace, Putin is still only interested in the greatest possible territorial gains and the restoration of the Soviet empire.

If we don't increase our effort fast enough and let the aggressor dictate its conditions, we won't end up well.

There is absolutely no explanation, no justification for this. Like many of you, I am feeling a deep sorrow and disgust over this incomprehensible and brutal violence.
