My short commentary on the implication of the Czech election for Ukraine.
In short: not a good result for Kyiv, but expect pragmatic, self-interested policies, rather than a pro-Russian turn. Babiš is a transactional politician, will do what serves him best.

Tak to já bych si tipnul, že do podzima se tohle otočí a volební účast bude naopak vyšší, klidně k 70 % (jako v prezidentských volbách 2023). Proč si to myslím? Protože trend kontinuálního nárůstu účasti vidíme za posledních 10+ let v Česku i ve všech okolních zemích. www.novinky.cz/clanek/volby...

The killing of civilians seeking aid in Gaza is indefensible.
I spoke again with Gideon Sa'ar to recall our understanding on aid flow and made clear that IDF must stop killing people at distribution points.
