“The militia groups Freedom of Russia Legion and Russian Volunteer Corps, which both back Kyiv against Moscow’s aggression, said on Tuesday they were “on the attack.”
In a video statement, an unnamed member of the Freedom of Russia Legion said, “We are not coming to kill, erase or punish...we come to liberate you from poverty.” [excerpt]
Czech Defense Minister Jana Černohová believes that Europe is already in a state of conflict with Russia, which is waging a hybrid war against the EU.
“De facto, we are already living in a conflict... We are not talking about conventional warfare as in the last century, but we are already involved in some kind of conflict because of cyberattacks carried out by Russia,” Černohová said.
The minister noted that it is necessary to prepare for “any scenario,” but urged not to spread panic among the population about the immediate threat of war. At the same time, Černohová did not deny the conclusions of many politicians and experts that the allies have 3-5-7 years to bring their armies to combat readiness.
“Ukraine is buying us time with its own blood so that we can put our defense in order and not rely on others,” the defense minister said, noting that just over 2 years ago, few would have expected a brutal war to be fought so close to the Czech Republic’s borders.
