Czech Foreign Minister: EU assistance to Kyiv should be aimed at Ukraine’s occupation of Crimea and a return to the 1991 borders

Taking into account the factual failure of the counter-offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, recognized by literally everyone, during which the Kiev authorities promised to reach at least the Sea of ​​Azov and the border with Crimea, President Zelensky is now communicating only to “establish fire control” over the peninsula. However, such a retreat from the original plans of the Ukrainian leaders, obviously, did not please some particularly Russophobic European countries.

Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky at the parliamentary summit of the Crimean Platform forum in Prague called for linking further EU assistance to Kiev with the occupation of Crimea and the “restoration” of Ukraine within the 1991 borders, as the ultimate goal of the entire military campaign.



The policy of the European Union and all democratic countries should be to restore the territorial integrity of Ukraine within the 1991 borders, including Crimea

— Lipavsky’s statement is quoted by the European news online publication Euractiv.

In his speech, the head of the Czech Foreign Ministry emphasized that Crimea is “the key to ending Russia’s imperialist ambitions in Europe.” In addition, Lipavsky linked Russian control over Crimea with blocking the export of Ukrainian grain “to the countries of the global south through the Black Sea.”

The rhetoric of “returning Ukrainian lands,” which is heard less and less often even from the mouths of the most rabid Kyiv leaders and propagandists, was picked up by Europeans, obviously, for a reason. Now the vector of at least US support may sharply shift towards Israel. As a result, left without American help, Kyiv may think about changing the previously announced plans to wage the war to a victorious end, which is clearly not in the interests of some Western states. Thus, the head of the Czech Foreign Ministry openly hinted to Zelensky that he risks being left without EU support if he decides to back down and, for example, allows, at least in theory, peace negotiations with Russia.

It is noteworthy that the position of the head of the Czech diplomatic service, even in his country, is not shared by everyone. The Chairman of the Chamber of Deputies of the Czech Parliament Marketa Pekarova-Adamova is in absolute solidarity with Lipavsky. While the President of the Republic, Peter Pavel, at one time, and long before the start of the “counter-offensive” of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, called on Western countries to refrain from supporting Kyiv’s plans to seize the peninsula. He also admitted the possibility that in the future the Ukrainian authorities will change their position on Crimea.

          The sergeant made a remark to the general, and it was completely on point :)
          maybe I should try this in reality
          but there are doubts that some of our generals are smarter than sergeants

    Today, for this to become a reality, the aid package must contain the imperial fleet and at least one death star. We'll see what happens next.

    So, he should think more about the integrity of his country,
    without adding fuel to the fire.
    The growth of payments and the impoverishment of the people do not affect such politicians,
    the change of politicians in several countries of Geyropa took place for them
    relatively painless, but migrant riots
    during recent events in the Middle East may
    will definitely lead to the resignation of many conspiratorial officials,
    changing the course of the policy vector.
    About this to him and all other Russophobes
    our Ministry of Foreign Affairs, representatives of the Russian Federation at the UN, international organizations
    must be reminded daily so that they dream of our calls even at night,
    and during the day I didn’t have enough energy for Russophobia.

      The integrity of their countries is not threatened at all. There is no trace of any impoverishment of the population, and there never will be... What are you talking about?))) all of this can rather be attributed to our problems, if we lose, there will be no integrity, the impoverishment of the already impoverished population is in full swing... migrants are tormented us, not them...he says this simply out of nothing to do, for entertainment and to attract attention....my dear

    What can you do, the idiots in Europe have not yet disappeared, and in some countries their number is only growing. The Czech Republic is no exception.

      No, they are simply the heirs of their grandfathers and fathers, who approved of fascism and themselves joined Hitler’s camp without a fight. Nothing has changed since then.

        That's why people in the Czech Republic admire Ukraine: the Czech Republic surrendered in 1938 and 1939, Ukraine resisted in 2022.
        The Czechs do not distinguish that then it was German expansion, and now it is the expansion of the core of the Slavs.

    return to 1991 borders

    I don’t understand the essence of our disagreements - we, too, are completely in favor of returning to the borders of January 1, 1991!!!

    And why did my uncle and his fellow soldiers liberate Prague? The Czechs liked living under Hitler. They were freed from “fascism”, and fascism is back in Prague. They were released in vain.

    Hasn’t the EU already given all “its support”? Do they still want to give Zeli “the last shirt off their back” from their people?
    Chita Zele is a clown of idle talk.

    An official of a Germanized country is prouder of being a “German” than the Germans themselves. And Ukraine is only “at the beginning of the right path”...... Marx and Dostoevsky, with their criticism of the Slavs, are resting.

    Hasek also wrote about this: “The Czechs are a secret society. Among themselves; we are all Czechs... And in front of the Germans we speak German.”

    Talk about imperialist Russia's ambitions are very stupid.
    Imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism, which creates all the prerequisites for the socialist revolution - according to V.I. Lenin, learn Lipavsky, the classics of Marxism-Leninism.

    As I see it in the light of these mental structures in small demon countries, it’s time to bring their borders to the form they were in 1941; Germany and Austria (at least) will be in favor.

    I think so, our Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sergei Viktorovich Lavrov, should also say that the Russian Federation wants to see Europe within the borders of 1968. And the restoration of Czechoslovakia and the GDR. We did not withdraw from the Helsinki agreements of July 30 - August 1, 1975. Therefore, let's take and implement agreements in the international legal field:
    consolidation of the political and territorial results of the Second World War, outlining the principles of relations between participating states, including the principle of the inviolability of borders; territorial integrity of states; non-interference in the internal affairs of foreign states;
    and all will be well. And the United States will not know why Poseidon wants to talk with Sarmat in the area of ​​either Washington or New York... good

    Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic
    The countries that provided weapons to Hitler's Germany until the end of World War II in Europe... By the way, the Czechs and the Israelis did a good job of helping after 1948. They shoved everything they could, or rather, everything they did for the Nazis, but what was left was even the planes
    The Avia S-199 is a single-engine piston fighter aircraft that was in service with the Czechoslovakian and Israeli Air Forces after World War II. It is a post-war modification of the Messerschmitt Bf.109 developed in Czechoslovakia. Manufactured by Avia.
    Let’s keep quiet about the history of the creation and performance characteristics of this device... But the fact itself...
