According to him, Moscow sees these gaps in European security and takes advantage of them.

At the same time, the president of the Czech Republic is convinced that NATO has good reasons to give a much tougher rebuff than it has been so far.

Direct speech: “I believe that if these violations continue, there will come a time when we will have to take stronger measures, including possibly shooting down a Russian plane or drone. Russia would not allow violations of its airspace to happen again. And we should do the same.”
