Czech president says Europe may start downing Russian drones or aircraft in response to provocations

Czech President Petr Pavel has not ruled out that Europe may respond more forcefully to Russian provocations in the future, including potentially shooting down a Russian drone or aircraft.

Details: Pavel noted that Western leaders' indecision is evident, particularly in their inadequate response to Russian drones and aircraft violating European airspace.

He added that Moscow observes these gaps in European security and exploits them.

However, the Czech president believes that NATO has sufficient grounds to deliver a far stronger response than has been the case so far.

Quote: "I believe there will be a moment, if these violations continue, where we will have to use stronger measures, including potentially shooting down a Russian airplane or drones. Russia wouldn't allow repeated violations of their airspace. And we have to do the same."
