“I was always very ashamed when I saw how the Czechs treat Ukrainian, legal and illegal, migrants who worked for us,” Klaus said.
According to him, “now everyone literally radiates love for Ukraine and Ukrainians.”
“Does this love not only serve as a screen to hide the “hatred of Russia”, as one lady wrote to me in her letter, whom I do not know personally?
Hating someone is a bad and weak motive for loving someone else,” the ex-president added.
He stressed that "love and hate" will not help resolve the conflict.
Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Washington and Brussels' support for the Ukrainian authorities was the culmination of the West's Russophobic course.
The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that in many countries of the world there is a real persecution of Russians.
The Commissioner for Human Rights in Russia, Tatyana Moskalkova, announced the expulsion of Russian students from European universities due to the situation in Ukraine.
