President Zeman is right.
The West tore off Kosovo, which was a part of Serbia and made it a NATO protectorate.
And here its hypocritically demanding of the Russians that they can’t do that in Ukraine. Why the double standard?
As the Russians warned, you trample over international law because you feel like it, the same international law you now piously invoke to thwart Russia’s interests, you had no problem breaking at the time it conveniently served your own interests.
Russia is not in the mood to be lectured to by the West about international law, respect for state borders and keeping your snout out of other countries’ business. Like it or not, the West itself set the precedent in the Balkans.
Might makes right, except when Russia is mighty.
