Чехія готова виконати зобов’язання перед НАТО у разі нападу Росії на країни Балтії - Бабіш

This was stated on Tuesday by Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš in an interviewwith the Czech news site, Ukrinform reports with reference to Reuters.

Responding to questions from Deník about Prague's preparations for possible Russian actions against NATO, which were warned about by the intelligence services of some NATO countries, Babiš said that the government was discussing security issues, in particular with President Petro Pavel.

"The fact that we do not talk about it and journalists do not receive material for their articles does not mean that we do not deal with this issue. If, God forbid, Russia attacks one of the Baltic countries, then according to Article 5 (NATO members’ commitment to mutual defense – ed.), we must send two of our mechanized brigades, "he said.

Western European governments and intelligence agencies say there is a growing risk of Russia intensifying hybrid attacks, including sabotage, as well as a possible limited military attack.
