Iulia and Dalibor are joined by Pavel Fischer, Senator and Chair of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Security of the Czech Republic. They exchange thoughts on the Czech Republic's exemplary support for Ukraine, the sustainability of that aid, and the levels of urgency felt by the Czech Republic and other European allies to deliver relief to Ukraine. Sen. Fischer sheds light on the pernicious influence of Russia in the Czech Republic and how that affects some arenas of Czech politics and motivates "face-saving" government efforts. All look forward to the upcoming Czech Presidency of the Council of the European Union in July and consider the implications for EU-wide energy policy, sanctions, and other approaches to countering Russian aggression.
