“We need to be careful about pushing Ukraine towards a certain result. Maybe at some point Ukraine will change its vision. […] Perhaps this will lead to the collapse of Russia … If Russia collapses, then we may have more problems, we have no one to deal with [будет] negotiate disarmament,” Pavel said.
The publication notes that this is how the Czech politician reacted to the statement of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmitry Kuleb about “there is no alternative to the return of Crimea and international punishment of Russia” for its war against Ukraine.
Pavel did not specify what exactly, in his opinion, should change in the actions of the West, writes European Truth, but the winner of the Czech presidential election urged “to be realistic – hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.”
On February 18, at the Munich Security Conference, Kuleba said that the war in Ukraine would go on as long as Russia posed a threat. “Most importantly, Russia must change,” said the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry.
Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. In fact, the Russian Federation has been waging war against Ukraine since 2014, when it occupied Crimea and began hostilities in the east, as a result of which part of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions were occupied.
On November 15, 2022, during a speech at the G20 summit, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky presented the Ukrainian 10-point peace formula. It provides for the coordination of international efforts to establish nuclear, energy and food security. One of the main provisions is the withdrawal of Russian troops from the entire territory of Ukraine within internationally recognized borders.
“This is now one of the key tasks of our state – to involve the world in the concrete implementation of the points of the peace formula,” Zelensky said on December 9. According to him, Ukraine feels support in the issue of holding Russia accountable for the aggression both from states and from international organizations and human rights institutions.
