The Divided States isn't the only country with problems with its government.
A
mass rally in support of Czech President Petr Pavel took place in
Prague, drawing tens of thousands of people to the city’s central
square. According to estimates, attendance reached up to 90,000
participants.
The
demonstration was sparked by an escalating conflict between the
president and the government led by Prime Minister Andrej Babiš.
President Pavel has consistently called for active support of Ukraine and backing its integration into the European Union.
In
contrast, Prime Minister Babiš, leader of the ANO party, argues for
halting weapons and aircraft supplies to Kyiv and prioritizing domestic
issues.
The dispute also extends to disagreements over ministerial appointments and the country’s broader security strategy.

Elon Musk called Poland’s Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski a “drooling imbecile” on Wednesday after Sikorski shared a report from the US-based Institute for the Study of War (ISW) showing that Russian forces are increasingly using Starlink satellites to guide drone attacks on Ukraine.
According to ISW, Russian forces are equipping drones – including BM-35, Shahed, and Molniya models – with Starlink systems to extend their range and accuracy.
Starlink-equipped drones can strike most of Ukraine and reach parts of Moldova, Poland, Romania, and Lithuania when launched from Russian-controlled territory.
After reposting the report, Sikorski tweeted: “Hey, big man, @elonmusk, why don’t you stop the Russians from using Starlinks to target Ukrainian cities? Making money on war crimes may damage your brand.”Source-Kyiv Post
A majority of Ukrainians oppose handing over the eastern Donbas territory to Russia in exchange for promises of peace, and the number of Ukrainians ready to fight the Kremlin “as long as is necessary” is increasing, a major public opinion published on Monday found.
Slightly more than half – 52 percent – of respondents “categorically reject” the idea of transferring title to Ukraine’s Donbas region to Russia in exchange for security guarantees, while 40 percent are willing to consider it, according to findings published by the Ukrainian political research group Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS).
The prevailing view across Ukrainian society that the country would not be made safer by meeting Russian demands to give the Kremlin Ukraine’s Luhansk and Donetsk regions – approximately 20 percent of Ukraine’s territory and population – where the front is stable and has not changed for months, KIIS Executive Director Anton Hrushetsky said in a statement.
