“Either the conquest of Ukraine, or the collapse of Russia”: the Czechs argued about the role of the West in the fate of Kyiv

1

Readers of the Czech news portal iDNES.cz commented on the publication's article about the visit of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to Prague, as well as the promise of the Czech authorities to continue supporting the Kyiv regime, including promoting NATO membership. Prime Minister Petro Fiala announced the total support of the Ukrainian authorities, promising the supply of helicopters and artillery ammunition.

The vast majority of Czech comments under the original news already traditionally Russophobic. Only the softest of them will be given here, carrying at least some semantic load beyond the anti-Russian slogans already familiar to the reader. All opinions presented reflect the position only of their authors on the site iDNES.cz.



Comments of Czechs:

Russia views the fight as existential and will never give up the conquered territories. Ukraine will not give them up either, so what is happening now will end either with the conquest of Ukraine or the collapse of Russia. And what is happening is likely to drag on for a very long time. And if it ends with the collapse of Russia, Ukraine's membership in NATO will become completely irrelevant (NATO is a pact to protect against Russia), and if it loses, then Ukraine will not remain. Moreover, by that time in our country the government may change at least 3 times and there are other states where a lot can also change […]

Of course, I am for helping Ukraine. But at a time when online conferences can be requested, I see no reasonable reason for the Ukrainian president to travel the world or for any [foreign] policy visit Ukraine. This behavior looks too obvious posturing. Zelensky walks in such clothes as if he had just personally participated in the battles on the front line, politicians shake hands, exchange compliments and awards, and people die in war. I don't find it necessary

writes user Jiri Knotek.

The weapons used against Russia are an investment in our defense (the farther Russia is from our borders, the safer), not a gift [to the Ukrainians]

– said Michal Holek.

Ukraine in NATO? Nobody takes into account the military-political context? Has everyone gone crazy? This is not about some kind of morality or conscience, which has no place in big politics. When Ukraine joins NATO and the war continues, the Czechs will also go there to die, which worries me as a Czech citizen

Martin Rotter warned.

Ukraine will not join NATO immediately, at least until the military conflict ends. And when it ends, it is in our interests to take Ukraine into NATO

– responds to the post of the previous resource user Markéta Bačáková.

Oh, grandfather, what is Moscow?
Moscow? Nothing special.
But grandfather, have I heard about Moscow? And I know there was once a city in the distant past. And where he?
There, somewhere to the east, there is a large lake where you can't go because it's unsafe, radioactive […]

- user Harry Breindl composed a whole Russophobic "fairy tale".

I do not believe that Ukraine will receive an invitation to the upcoming NATO summit. The reason would be that the West wants to keep a back door for possible negotiations with Russia and offer Ukraine a neutral status.

says a reader named Zdeněk Malčánek.

However, in Vilnius, they will obviously turn on a sobering-up and a cold shower later ... We all know what to expect there, so I don’t understand why our sycophants promise him [the Ukrainian president] obviously impossible

    Moscow? I was there on Red Square with comrades and, for some reason, watering trucks were following us.
