Czech President warns Europe is on the 'brink of conflict' - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
"Pavel said that Russia will "quickly realise" that they have overstepped their bounds, but Europe is on the "brink of conflict." Pavel said during an interview with the public broadcaster Czech Television, "In these times, we must act firmly, and if violations occur, we must respond accordingly, including militarily. "Russia will very quickly realize it has made a mistake and overstepped its bounds. Unfortunately, this is balancing on the brink of conflict, but giving in to evil is simply impossible.""
"On 10 September Russia launched 19 "suicide drones" which "violated" Polish airspace and were shot down by NATO jets. On 13 September Russian drones violated Polish and Romanian airspace whilst Ukraine was under a major aerial bombardment. On 19 September three Russian MIG-31 fighter jets deliberately flew into Estonian airspace, which has been seen yet as another provocation by Vladimir Putin."
Czech President Petr Pavel warned that recent Russian actions represent a significant escalation to European security and assigned clear responsibility to Russia. Pavel urged NATO unity and firm responses, including military measures if violations occur, arguing that Russia seeks to provoke reactions it can exploit. He warned that Europe stands on the brink of conflict but insisted capitulation to aggression is unacceptable. Incidents cited include Russian drones violating Polish and Romanian airspace, 19 "suicide drones" shot down over Poland, and MIG-31 fighter jets entering Estonian airspace, viewed as deliberate provocations.
