Zeman stressed to journalists after a meeting with Duda at Prague Castle that it was a “violation of the contracts” with regard to delivery dates and payment terms.
Poland has become the “main defender” of European values
Duda explained Poland I “quietly took note of” the cessation of gas deliveries and assured that “we will master it”. Zeman further said, Poland had become “the main defender of European values” and played a key role in shaping the resistance against Russian aggression in Ukraine. The Czech head of state also noted that he was in Brussels at the time Poland had criticized for violating EU values, describing this criticism as “interfering in internal affairs”.
At the joint appearance with Zeman in front of journalists, where no questions were allowed, Duda spoke of an “exceptional situation” in Europe. Since 1989 there has never been such a great aggression in Europe. It is an act of aggression on the part of a nuclear power and an aggression “without cause and without warning,” said Duda. He criticized the Russian attitude, according to which it was not about war, but about “some kind of special military operation”.
