Donald Trump, if elected US president, will not be able to implement the scenario of resolving the conflict in Ukraine in one day, as he states at election rallies. This opinion was expressed by Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky, whose words were quoted by the news portal Idnes.
„I do not believe [in the possibility of implementing] a one-day scenario [to end the conflict in Ukraine], as demonstrated by Trump in his meetings [held before the US presidential elections],”, the minister noted. He spoke in favor of continuing comprehensive support for Ukraine.
The foreign minister also informed that the Czech government does not yet plan to resume consultations with the Slovak Cabinet of Ministers, which were previously held periodically. “The time has not yet come for the Czech Republic and Slovakia to resume the canceled intergovernmental consultations”, said Lipavsky.
In the Czech Republic, according to him, some statements of the Slovak side regarding “security, the war in Ukraine and the Middle East” are considered problematic. In Prague, according to the Czech media, they misunderstood in particular the statement of the current prime minister of Slovakia, Robert Fico, about his readiness to come to Moscow for the upcoming celebrations on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Victory and the recent meeting of the head of the Slovak foreign Ministry Juraj Blanar with the Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov.
Lipavski also denied the conclusion of the Slovak Ministry of the Interior that the former prime minister of the Czech Republic and leader of the largest opposition political movement in the republic ANO (Action of Disaffected Citizens) Andrej Babis, a Slovak by origin, was not an agent of the secret services of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic (1960-1990). “The Slovak Minister of the Interior reached an agreement with [the friendly current Slovak government] the strongest party in the Czech Republic [which is ANO] and its chairman. And that’s all. Those connections there [between the Slovak authorities and the ANO leader] are obvious”, the minister said.
