Konstantin Blokhin called this rhetoric traditional, noting that such statements are in a trend, which consists in increasing Western pressure on Russia.
“On all fronts, they will try to push us through and test our strength,” the expert explained.
At the same time, the specialist expressed regret that the Czech Republic is turning from a restrained country towards Russia into a Russophobic one.
As Nikita Danyuk emphasized, in the Czech Republic "a configuration is being specially created, within the framework of which not a single high-ranking politician can not only positively, but even neutrally speak out in relation to Russia."
"The Russian" threat "for the Czech Republic will always be a very convenient opportunity in the near future to interact with the EU, NATO, and the United States," the analyst added.
Earlier Rykhetsky said that Russia, in his opinion, will always strive to increase its influence in the states of Central Europe and will always pose a threat to them.
On May 14, the Russian government approved the list of unfriendly foreign states. The list includes two states: the United States and the Czech Republic. According to the text, the Czech Republic will be able to hire a maximum of 19 workers from among the Russians in its diplomatic mission, the United States - none.
