The Orlen Unipetrol refinery near Litvínov has started work on the gradual restoration of operations following the controlled detonation of an aerial WWII bomb on the factory grounds on Friday. An inspection of production technologies is now underway. So far, no significant damage has been found that would affect the resumption of operations, company spokesman Pavel Kaidl said. Full resumption of operations will take several days.
The government has said it will release part of the fuel stocks from the state's material reserves so as to cover the production shortfall at the plant, which had to suspend production for over ten days following the discovery of a WWII air bomb on its premises.

Russia's imperialist ambitions have no limits, it is up to us to restrict them, Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský said in his speech at the Globsec security conference in Prague, warning that Putin’s victory in the war on Ukraine would present a serious security threat for Europe and would destabilize the continent.
The Czech foreign minister said his country does not place any restrictions on Ukraine's use of the military equipment that it supplies, but he emphasized that Czechia is not among the states providing long-range weapons and highly sophisticated weapon systems, so it is not faced with the dilemma of whether and how it should allow Ukraine to use them against Russia.
The EU diplomacy chief, Josep Borrell, said on Thursday that EU states must remove restrictions on the use of weapons provided to Ukraine. He said Ukrainians must be able to target places from where the Russians are bombing and shelling them. Speaking at Globsec, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen also argued for the lifting of restrictions, especially on long-range missiles.

The biggest security threats in the present day are the war in Ukraine, the crisis in the Middle East and instability in Africa, where the big players are jostling for influence and natural resources, the head of Military Intelligence (VZ) Petr Bartovský said in an interview for the CTK news agency. He said that while these conflicts may be seemingly local, they have global implications and are making a significant impact on the security situation in Europe. In the long term, Bartovský warned about the growing threat presented by China which is trying to gain influence over the direction and trade policies of the European Union and the rest of the world. In the area of cyber operations, he said, it significantly outstrips Russia's activities and is increasingly aggressive.

Saturday is the last day on which readers can buy a printed edition of the daily Lidové noviny, the oldest Czech daily whose first issue was published in 1893. From September the paper will only be available online. Its management said this was an inevitable outcome stemming from the development of modern technologies, the cost of paper and distribution. According to the news site e15, around 40 people will lose their jobs as a result of the closure.
The news website Lidovky.cz will remain and its content will be expanded, especially with opinion pieces. The paper’s most famous period was in the interwar era of the First Republic. It was abolished by the communist regime, and in 1989 the restored paper became one of the symbols of the Velvet Revolution.

Czech Defense Minister Jana Černochová and her Italian counterpart Guido Crosetto met for one-on-one talks on the sidelines of the Globsec international conference in Prague to discuss security issues and bilateral cooperation in defense. The Czech defense minister stressed the need for NATO to adopt a new strategy towards Russia, which is waging a war against the West through cyberattacks and sponsoring terrorist and arson attacks on NATO territory. The meeting also focused on the purchase of US F-35 fifth-generation aircraft for the Czech military. The purchase of 24 F-35 fighter jets for approximately 150 billion crowns was approved by the Czech government last September. The final assembly of the first 12 aircraft for the Czech Republic is to take place at the Cameri plant in Italy.
