“The current statement sounds rather unexpected and rather inconsistent.

It seems to me that the main thing would be if the Czech leadership was consistent in relations with Russia and adhered to historical traditions, and not some conjunctures that are developing not so much in the Czech Republic as outside it.

These statements about interference in internal affairs - again from the realm of fantasies, chimeras, from the realm of some desires to fit into the general tendencies that the United States had previously generated, ”Olenchenko said.

In addition, according to him, the Czechs need, first of all, to understand "what they want from Russian-Czech relations, to clearly formulate and adhere to this." 

“It is difficult to say from these statements how relations will develop further.

Most likely, there is a maneuvering on the part of the Czech leadership.

Probably, the Czechs themselves need to work on their mistakes and make some conclusions about how they would like to see relations with Russia, ”he concluded.

Earlier, Czech Prime Minister Andrei Babis said that the Czech Republic should establish new relations with Russia.
