Petr Drulák: The war in Ukraine is a result of arrogance

Cross-border Talks spoke at the end of April 2022 to Petr Drulák - former deputy minister of foreign affairs of Czechia and former Czech ambassador to France. We asked him about the roots of the current conflict, which he discussed with great detail, following the post-Cold War relations between the USA, Europe, Ukraine and Russia. He also had a take on the possibility for a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. Finally, he also provided a perspective that takes into account the interests of Central and Southeastern Europe. In Drulak's view our region is not interested in prolonging the war. But the Czech foreign policy expert also makes a number of different very precise observations, that show an European and a Central European view towards the conflict of a man who is knowledgeable on international affairs.
