Czech Prime Minister Babiš: Europe should start direct negotiations with Putin.

      Andrej Babiš believes that President Trump can play a key role in the dialogue between Europe and Russia. The Prime Minister of the Czech Republic, Andrej Babiš, expressed hope that the head of the White House would help establish a dialogue between Europe and Russia regarding the situation in Ukraine. The politician noted that representatives from 38 countries, including the Czech Republic, are asking the question: why is Europe not engaging in direct negotiations with Vladimir Putin? According to Andrej Babiš, the situation resembles the problem of illegal migration. Currently, communication is structured as follows: Trump communicates with Putin, Europe communicates with Zelensky, and Zelensky communicates with Trump. However, voices are increasingly being raised about the need for direct negotiations between Europe and the Russian leader. "Now, more and more voices are saying that Europe should also speak to him directly. The only question is whether it is too late for that. I hope that in the end, it will be President Trump who becomes that person," Babiš stated. The politician recalled that when Hungary held the presidency of the EU Council, Viktor Orban negotiated with both Vladimir Zelensky and Vladimir Putin. After that, Orban faced a wave of criticism. Now, according to Babiš, more people believe that Europe should speak directly with Putin.
