Russia's overnight attack on Ukraine proves that Russian President Vladimir Putin wants war and mocks ceasefire proposals. Ukraine must urgently receive ammunition and air defense systems, or a crisis will begin, stated Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský.
"The overnight Russian attack on Ukraine is yet another proof that Putin wants war. He mocks any ceasefire proposals. That's why Putinism must be stopped," the minister said.
Lipavský added that it is essential to strengthen the security of both Ukraine and Europe. He stressed the need for air defense systems, ammunition, and energy equipment to counter Russian terror.
"We must reinforce Ukrainian and European security. Deliver ammunition, air defense systems, and energy equipment to Ukraine before winter approaches. Otherwise, we risk a humanitarian crisis in Europe," he concluded.
