**Czech Intelligence Chief Warns Against Weak Peace in Ukraine**
In an interview with Bloomberg on November 26, 2024, Czech intelligence chief Michal Koudelka stressed the importance of standing strong against Russian aggression. The Czech Republic has been a key supporter of Ukraine, providing military aid and supplies to help defend against Russia.
Koudelka, a major general heading the country’s Security Information Service, warned that pushing Ukraine to accept unfavorable peace terms would only encourage Russia. He said Russia would use any victory to prepare for its next target: central and eastern Europe.
This assessment is shared by other European intelligence services, including Germany‘s top spy Bruno Kahl. Kahl has warned that President Vladimir Putin will be ready to engage with NATO militarily by the end of the decade.
**Russia Must Withdraw Troops**
Koudelka emphasized that international law requires Russia to withdraw its troops completely, return occupied territories, and pay reparations for its actions in Ukraine. He described Russia’s invasion as evidence of an “imperial superpower” with a disregard for human life.
**Avoid New Security Threats**
The intelligence chief called on Western nations to avoid creating new security threats when resuming relations with Russia. He said the outcome of the war would determine the likelihood of future global conflicts involving NATO.
