Former PM Babiš: Czech government ‘dreams about war with Russia’

Former Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš accused the current Czech government of "dreaming about war with Russia" in a controversial interview with pro-Kremlin outlet Parlamentní listy.

"The government of [current Prime Minister Petr] Fiala dreams of war with Russia, probably with the F-35s, which are due to arrive sometime in the next 11 years," said Babiš, referring to the Czech defense ministry's purchase of American fighter jets.

Babiš previously called the jets "useless," adding that Czechia "doesn't need them."
