Czech Opposition Leader Calls for EU Diplomatic Mission to Negotiate with Putin on Ukraine
Share:
Andrej Babiš, leader of the Czech opposition ANO party and former prime minister, has called for a coordinated European diplomatic offensive to engage with Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding the Ukraine conflict. Babiš claims that Europe has finally recognized the necessity of negotiating with Putin and has proposed establishing a joint EU mission led by Friedrich Merz, the leader of Germany's Christian Democratic Union (CDU). The proposal comes as European leaders continue to grapple with finding a path toward resolving the ongoing war in Ukraine, which began with Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022.
