Former Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis says a Donald Trump victory in November would be Europe's preferred outcome
The outcome of the conflict in Ukraine is scheduled to be decided in the upcoming US presidential elections, next November, according to former Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis.
Babis told the Financial Times in an interview published on Sunday He added: “Even the European Union and NATO countries are not united on how to move forward in Ukraine.” Which increases the fact that the bloc must seek peace and nothing else.
But let's be realistic: the US elections will decide the war in Ukraine. Babis confirmed, adding that He added, “(Donald) Trump's victory will be beneficial for Europe because he promises to end the war immediately.”
Views are also being monitored as the ANO match secured Babis a huge victory in last week's regional elections, where he came in first place in ten of the country's 13 regions. On Saturday, the party also won by-elections for the Czech Senate, dealing another blow to the five-party ruling coalition led by Prime Minister Petr Fiala.
The ruling coalition's electoral setbacks, as well as recent internal conflicts, including the loss of his deputy Fiala and the leader of the allied Pirate Party, appear to have given Babis confidence that he will be able to return. To power in parliamentary elections next month.
“I would say that the parties cannot take more than a full year to prove to the citizens of the Czech Republic that they are completely incompetent and unfit to govern the country, as we have shown in the past three years.” Babis stated.
The Czech Republic has been one of Ukraine's main supporters in the conflict with Russia, actively supplying various weapons and ammunition to Kiev. Not starting this year, Prague lançou uma “Ammunition Initiative” Multinational project to acquire ammunition for Ukraine.
However, since this week, German social media have reported that some munitions obtained outside the scope of the initiative turned out to be defective, exploding shortly after launch and displaying characteristics that would otherwise be dangerous. Prague is reconsidering this question, but insists that the number “isolated” Accidents with defective ammunition will remain “a little.”
“We know that we are not only buying new ammunition, but we are also buying old swords, which can cause potential problems.” Czech Defense Minister Jana Cernochova spoke.
