Czechia's attitude toward Russia after it invades Ukraine
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Czechia, Jan Lipavský, recently summoned Russian Ambassador Alexander Zmeyevsky for a reprimand. This was in response to a missile strike by occupiers on the village of Hroza in the Kharkiv region.
Additionally, during a European Parliament in Strasbourg session, Czech President Petr Pavel urged EU states to take a decisive stance against Russia due to its widescale war against Ukraine. He cautioned against actions by the aggressor country.
