Europe is at the beginning of a longer confrontation with Russia, which may not be military.

This was stated by the President of the Czech Republic, Petr Pavel, reported by Die Presse.

"They want to restore the imperial greatness of the Soviet Union, including its sphere of influence, and they talk about it very openly. Therefore, we must take this seriously. We must be prepared for Russia not to be a peaceful partner," he said.

According to him, Moscow has already shown itself to be a "destructive force" in many European countries, trying to spread propaganda and often blatant lies.

The President of the Czech Republic noted that when Russia behaves constructively, Europe should do the same.

"But when Russia acts against our interests, we must resist it. Otherwise, our way of life and our values will be threatened," he said.

Pavel added that he believes that the confrontation with Russia could become part of everyday life.

He also expressed the belief that Russia is not seeking cooperation with Europe and considers itself a superpower entitled to dictate the rules of the game.
