During a meeting held at the Czech Defense Ministry, the Chief of the General Staff of the Czech Armed Forces, Karel Rzehka, said that it was time to prepare for a possible clash between NATO and the Russian Federation.
It is the Czech Republic that must prepare, because in this case the state will become an actor in the conflict “from the first minute”. Seznam Zprávy writes about this.
“Most of our army will go to fight according to the military plans of the alliance. Our territory will become an important transit and support zone,” Rzhekha said.
Rzekha claims that at the start of a conflict, Russia “will not wait” for the Czech Republic to prepare and adds that if the fighting drags on, the Czech army will not last more than a few weeks. Details were reported by Gazeta.ru.
Earlier it became known that the Federation Council may expeditiously consider the law on suspending participation in START on February 22, immediately after the decision on this is taken by the deputies of the State Duma.
