President Petr Pavel’s interview for BBC HARDtalk.
President Petr Pavel gave interview to Stephen Sackur for the BBC HARDtalk.

President Pavel said if support for Ukraine declined and Russia prevailed in the conflict, Moscow “would take it as a confirmation of the right approach to their foreign and security policies”. “Russia,” he warned, “wouldn’t stop with Ukraine”.
