Viktor Orb\u00e1n\u2019s efforts to style himself as a high-level peacemaker by meeting world leaders including Vladimir Putin are \u201cwrong\u201d and \u201cnot in the interest of Europe\u201d, the Czech prime minister, Petr Fiala, has said, recalling lessons from attempts to appease Adolf Hitler before the second world war.<\/p>\n<p>The Hungarian prime minister has stoked controversy in recent weeks for embarking on what he has termed a \u201cpeace mission\u201d while his country holds the Council of the EU\u2019s rotating presidency. The international trips have involved meetings with Putin, China\u2019s Xi Jinping and Donald Trump. In a wide-ranging interview in Prague, Fiala said Orb\u00e1n\u2019s efforts were helping only the Kremlin as it pursued its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat Viktor Orb\u00e1n makes, it\u2019s not in the interest of Europe, it\u2019s not in the interest of my country, it\u2019s not in the interest of Ukrainian people,\u201d the conservative Czech leader told the Guardian on Wednesday. \u201cUnfortunately, it helps Vladimir Putin in this situation. And it\u2019s wrong.\u201d His remarks came as the European parliament condemned Orb\u00e1n\u2019s Russia trip as \u201ca blatant violation of the EU\u2019s treaties and common foreign policy\u201d and said Budapest should face repercussions.<\/p>\n<p>Fiala, a political scientist who has been serving as the Czech Republic\u2019s prime minister since 2021, stressed the importance of learning from history, pointing out that historical attempts to appease dangerous regimes had not worked. \u201cMany people believed that if we give some territory to Hitler or if we will discuss with Hitler it will prevent the war \u2013 the opposite was right,\u201d he said, citing the 1938 Munich agreement that permitted German annexation of the Sudetenland in what was then western Czechoslovakia. \u201cPeace is only possible if the aggressive state, aggressive regime, understands that we are so strong that it\u2019s not good for this regime to be aggressive with military forces. So it\u2019s very, very clear: the past is the teacher of all of us,\u201d Fiala said.<\/p>\n<p>The Czech Republic and Hungary used to be close partners as part of the \u201cVisegrad four\u201d together with Poland and Slovakia, but the regional grouping has grown apart over the past few years.Under Fiala\u2019s government the Czech Republic has been leading a drive \u2013 involving about 20 countries \u2013 to urgently procure ammunition for Ukraine from outside the European Union, while the bloc works to boost production.The Czech prime minister said a first shipment was made in June and further help was in the pipeline.\u201cWe want to send till the end of this year 500,000 pieces of ammunition, which is now realistic because we have everything that we need, financing and also we know where the ammunition is and we organised it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Fiala said Europe needed to step up assistance to Ukraine and to boost its own defences. Asked if he was concerned about the possible impact of the upcoming US election, including the choice of an isolationist, JD Vance, as the Republicans\u2019 vice-presidential candidate, Fiala recalled discussions he had had in Washington with American lawmakers.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/article\/2024\/jul\/17\/orban-peace-mission-helps-only-putin-says-czech-prime-minister-petr-fiala\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/article\/2024\/jul\/17\/orban-peace-mission-helps-only-putin-says-czech-prime-minister-petr-fiala\">The Guardian<\/a><br \/>\n[\/newsletter_lock<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/orbans-peace-mission-helps-only-putin-says-czech-prime-minister\/\">Orb\u00e1n\u2019s \u2018peace mission\u2019 helps only Putin, says Czech prime minister<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,9838,1541],"class_list":["post-132473","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-orban","tag-putin"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132473","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132473"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132473\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132473"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132473"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132473"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
