The Czech Republic is considering joining France's initiative to expand its nuclear deterrence, as expressed by Prime Minister Andrej Babis on Monday. French President Emmanuel Macron announced plans earlier this year to enhance France's nuclear arsenal through joint efforts with European partners.
Speaking at a news conference, Babis noted that although the Czech Republic is a non-nuclear NATO member, it is interested in discussing potential involvement in this strategic plan. He highlighted the country's readiness to contribute through its capable companies and military forces.
Babis also shared on Facebook that France is viewed as an ideal European ally in this venture. This comes amid regional discussions, with Germany forming a nuclear steering group and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk engaging in talks with France and other allies.
