Russia will start other wars in Europe, if it can win Ukraine - the Czech Foreign Minister
"The defeat of Ukraine would bring new resources to the winners and open the door for further" special military operations "in Central and Eastern Europe," Lipavsky said. He also noted that it was necessary to restrain the boundaries of Russian imperial ambitions. "The war in Ukraine is also our war. Our future has been put on the map," said the head of Czech diplomacy.
Lipavsky noted that, inspired by Russia's impunity, others "predators" will also take an example from the Kremlin around the world and start attacking their neighbors. The minister also stated that Europeans suffered for a long time from strategic procrastination after the Cold War ended. Yes, many believed that the fall of communism and the collapse of the USSR led to ignoring clear warnings.
For example, Russia's war in Georgia, the annexation of the Crimea Peninsula, and the Kremlin's murder of its political opponents. According to Lipavsky, China is another state that seeks to change the rules based on the rules. "China's foreign policy is becoming more aggressive," he said, reminding Beijing's warning that he can use military force against Taiwan.
