NEW CZECH PRESIDENT: QUICK INTRO
Czechia elected
@general_pavel
as new President. 5 yr term starts on March 8. In 2018, retired from active duty as 4-star army general after leading Czech army & NATO Military Committee. The most internationally successful Czech soldier ever had
We are no fucking “small ex-Soviet satellite”.
We are Czechia, a proud 10-million country whose President does phone calls with President of Taiwan and we just got about a million artillery shells to Ukrainian defenders while Germany and France do a pissing contest over egos.
Russia sent a diplomatic note saying Czechia cannot deliver Soviet-era weapons to Ukraine without Russian permission.
One senior Czech diplomat told me a joke today: “well, we are technically returning these weapons to the former Soviet Union, so there is no problem.”
BREAKING: Czech government just approved donation of weapons worth of some 7,5 million EUR to Ukraine, Czech weapons will be logistically delivered to Ukraine right away.
More incoming.
BREAKING:
Czech government:
1) closes two Russian consulates on Czech territory
2) closes two Czech consulates in Russia
3) suspends issuing new visa to Russians
4) calls home Czech ambassadors to Moscow and Minsk
5) prepares for the migration wave from Ukraine
THIS IS IMPORTANT:
Slovak Police announces that Ukraine-Slovak border crossings are open and every Ukrainian coming will be allowed to enter Slovakia, even without a passport, pending individual review.

@prezidentpavel
se přesunul na východní Ukrajinu. Ráno přicestoval vlakem do Dnipra. Česko drží nad poválečnou rekonstrukcí zdejší oblasti patronát.

Stop calling it Ukrainian-Russian tension.
It is not.
What is happening is a direct RUSSIAN AGGRESSION aganist Ukraine.
There is only one side to blame. The one which shot a video of its ship attacking the Ukrainian boat.
BREAKING: Slovak police arrested three Slovak citizen. A colonel from Defense Ministry, one Slovak intelligence service (SIS) employee, one Slovak citizen connected to pro-Kremlin disinformation website. All were secretly paid by Russian Embassy official.
Czechia shows diplomatic middle finger to pro-Russian Slovak Prime Minister:
Extremely rare diplomatic move today.
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico publicly lies about Czechia, claiming thaz we “support war in Ukraine”, in a sense that we like it.
So yesterday Czech cabinet…
After Czechia and Poland decided to provide tanks Ukraine, Germany keeps waiting, bringing up excuses like "we need a common position".
Dear German government, if you ask yourself why nobody in Central Eastern Europe has any trust to you as a security partner, this is it.
Let me present to you:
the Hungarian Foreign Minister, loyal puppet of Russia who is happy to support Russia in slaughtering Ukrainian civilians
for many years, he is considered to be one of the most active political assets Russia has inside of NATO and the EU
Ukraine has the full right under UN Charter for self-defense.
Ukraine can shoot every Russian combatant inside Ukrainian territory.
Ukraine, under attack by Russia, can hit any legitimate Russian target anywhere in the world as it is defending itself.
Kill all the terrorists.
THE MOST DANGEROUS EUROPEAN SCENARIO:
(based on my private talks with many European political and military leaders)
If the United States would end its material military support to Ukraine in short and mid-term, it could mean the following cascade of (worst case) events:
-…
It is very hard to believe Germany will respond to Article 5 situation (Russian attack on Baltics) when we see how afraid the German Chancellor is to do anything a bit real on Ukraine.
Yes, we hope he will deliver.
But his actions mean trust to Germany is close to zero now.
Bucha massacre and many other Russian war crimes in Ukraine happened because:
1) Germany and France kept appeasing Russia, instead of punishing it hard for initial hostilities
2) 2014 EU sanctions were symbolic
3) Germany and France opposed arming Ukraine before February
10-million Czechia:
- hosts highest number of Ukrainian refugess per capita (almost 500k, 5 % of our population)
- was the first country sending tanks to Ukrainian defenders when the rest of the West was scared to do it
- leads global coalition to buy artillery ammunition for…
Czech, Polish and Slovenian Prime Ministers will meet the President of Ukraine today in Kyiv.
This is how democracies should act. While Kyiv faces Russian efforts to destroy it, Prime Ministers of EU/NATO countries are coming to Kyiv now.
I am so proud to be Czech citizen.
Have those German leaders who spent years laughing at Central Eastern Europeans ("you are too paranoid about Russia") and promoting Nord Stream 2 ("it will increase European energy security") actually apologised and explained why they were completely wrong for so many years?
It is ultimately embarrassing that super-rich Europe depends on a single vote of U.S. Congress whether Ukraine will be surviving or not.
Europe should be funding Ukrainian defences so much that we do not depend on our allies in America.
THREAD:
Three weeks ago, a Russian intelligence operative flew to Prague. He was driven directly from the Prague airport by a Russia diplomatic car to the Russian Embassy in Prague, carrying a suitcase with „ricin“ poison,according to Czech intelligence sources,

Macron basically told China that Europe will stay neutral when China attacks Taiwan.
Congratulations on following the worst tradition of French appeasement of 1938.
JUST IN:
Czech government approved additional weapons donation to Ukraine for about 15 million EUR. Czech defense minister says "these are not light weapons", hinting it is heavy weaponry.
First Czech trains with weapons already arrived to the destination, next one inbound.
Right now, Europe should tell Putin:
If you invade Belarus, we will sanction you into complete economic isolation.
That would be a principled stance to defend independence of Belarus.
Retweet if you agree.
When asked about security guarantees for Russia on Czech Public TV, Czech Deputy Foreign Minister Jaroslav Kurfürst said:
“Russia will be defeated in Ukraine and we can only guarantee safe passage of Russian leaders to The Hague”.
Largest war in Europe since WWII and two largest EU countries (Germany and France) do nothing real.
Their arms companies are not suppling massive delivering to Ukraine.
Remember this when Berlin and Paris speak about EU defense.
When we needed them to act now, they failed.
Hungary acts as if it is not part of NATO:
- rejects NATO countries sending weapons to Ukraine via Hungary, even blocks allied planes via its airspace
- rejects NATO presence in Hungary, the only eastern flank country to refuse it, making NATO weaker
= Orban is a Russian ally
Serbia is a Russian and Chinese intelligence and increasingly also a military base.
The EU should stop all of its funding for Serbia.
There is no reason why we should finance our enemies.
If Serbia prefers Russia and China, it is free to do it with its own money.
If Germany wanted, it can deliver 100 howitzers to Ukraine right now.
German defense companies are ready to go, but German government refuses to do it.
We hear it from many insiders.
While thousands Ukrainians die defending Europe from Russian invaders, Germany betrays them.
German Foreign Minister
@ABaerbock
is completely right to call Xi "a dictator".
In every aspect of Chinese totalitarian system, he is a dictator by definition.
Retweet if you agree.
Our European foreign ministers should be saying the truth and she is doing it correctly.
Why does it take Germany to deliver almost nothing after 22 days since the war started while massive amounts of Czech weapons started to arrive to Ukraine 5 days after the Russian attack?
Is Germany so incompetent or is it political sabotage by Berlin? Many serious people ask.
Prime Minister of my country will soon hug the President of Ukraine in Kyiv, a city under Russian attack.
Hell, not that, he will bring much more than hugs.
I am so proud Czech Republic is responding to the Ukrainian call for help.
We are with you.
Looks like Slovakia will be governed by mafia cheering Putin and Orban.
If it happens, then it is horrible news for Central Europe for geopolitical amd security reasons as Slovakia would turn to become safe hub for Russian and Chinese intelligence.
Like Hungary and Austria.
Today is another day when Hungarian government helps Russia murder civilians in Ukraine by blocking Western military assistance deliveries via Hungary to Ukraine.
Hungary acts as if it was not a NATO member, but a Russian defacto colony.

Germany has no moral right to judge level of corruption in Ukraine of we all see how Germany allowed Russian strategic corruption operations like Nord Stream 2 to change European politics geostrategically.
German political establishment should first look into a mirror.
