The Czech president stressed in an interview with the newspaper “Rzeczpospolita” published on Monday that the best scenario to end the war and Russia’s failures Is the restoration of Ukraine of all lands.
“As a former military man, I am a realist. We must do everything we can to support Ukraine in achieving its goals. If the goal is to recover all the territories, then this will be a great result of this war. However, if Ukraine, in spite of everything It is necessary help from the West It will not be able to reconquer all of the land, while Russia is still strong enough to control it, the result is likely to be a protracted war of attrition, with neither side able to advance. We do not want such a scenario, but we must take into account that it exists. You can’t pretend to be the only one “The possible solution is a complete success,” the Czech president stressed.

Pavel noted that he himself would never encourage Ukraine to give up part of its territory. “If the Ukrainians decide to do this, it will be their decision alone. We should not push Kiev in any direction, not encourage concessions, not fight to the last soldier. We can support the Ukrainians as much as possible, but we cannot give them plans for the future and we can only help them.”
The Czech president also indicated that there will be elections in the United States next year, and that previous US election campaigns showed that society and politicians focus more on internal matters during these campaigns. “Even if there is an important global issue in the upcoming campaign, it will not be related to Europe, but to US-Chinese relations. American interest in Ukraine and the level of aid may decrease next year. And when American interest decreases, European countries will do the same,” Pavel noted. “.
When asked how much time the Ukrainians would have to launch a major counterattack to drive the Russians off their land, Pavel replied that it should be in a few months. “The opportunity is open this year. After next winter, it will be very difficult to maintain the current level of aid. War fatigue is not only the exhaustion of human resources and equipment, the destruction of infrastructure in Ukraine, but also the fatigue of the countries providing aid. Many countries Many politicians expect some progress this year, “Pavel said.
“I think Ukraine will only have one attempt to launch a major counterattack. Therefore, if it decides to launch a major counterattack and fails, it will be very difficult to get funds for the next offensive,” the president said.
