Czech President Zeman says he was wrong about Putin.

Czech President Milos Zeman said in an interview with Czech Radio that he initially made an erroneous opinion about his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin.

⠀

“I saw in him a politician who cares about the interests of his country. Aggression was against the interests of the Russian Federation. If he did not realize this, so much the worse for him,” says Zeman.

In addition, he supported the assistance to Ukraine, noting that “economic interests in this case should give way to security interests.”
