Russian ambassador warns Czech security being traded away

In related news, earlier on Friday the Russian ambassador to NATO Dmitry Rogozin criticised the Czech government regarding the radar plan, saying it had “sold the security of the Czechs" in return for what he described as “a new toy”. He made the statement in an interview for the Czech news agency ČTK, echoing similar criticism by Russia from earlier in the week. The ambassador to NATO stressed that if the project goes ahead as planned, Russia will consider related steps including the aiming of missiles at the Czech Republic. The US administration has maintained its anti-missile defence system is in no way intended against Russia.
