Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš said that the Czech Republic will help NATO member states if Russia attacks.
He said that if Russia attacks a Baltic state, the Czech Republic will send two brigades there. A brigade is a large military unit.
Babiš said that NATO members must help each other. This is a NATO rule.
Babiš does not want to talk about secret matters. But he said that one brigade will come from Prostějov and the other from Tábor.
Babiš's government is friendly with Russia. They are not helping Ukraine in the war. They also do not provide financial aid to Ukraine.
Babiš believes that European leaders should work for peace. He was criticized when he said that Czech soldiers would not fight for others.
Western European countries believe that Russia may commit more harmful acts. For example, sabotage or a small-scale war.
Babiš said that Russia is committing harmful acts against the Czech Republic. The Czech intelligence is dealing with this.
Russia says it does not plan harmful acts. However, NATO countries think differently.
The NATO rule states that an attack on one country is an attack on all. But each country can decide how to help.
Babiš said that the Czech Republic will assist the Baltic states militarily if needed.
