New Speaker of the Czech Republic Removes Ukrainian Flag: Political Battle Erupts in Prague

According to hvylya.net: The new speaker of the Czech parliament surprised everyone when he decided to remove the Ukrainian flag from the Chamber of Deputies on his very first day in office. However, the response from Ukrainian deputies was swift – the next day, not one but three Ukrainian flags appeared on the building.

This move by the Czech politician sparked a loud debate, but he explained it by his promises to voters that he would only support the rights of Czech citizens, and that all important state symbols should only be in Czech colors. The Ukrainian parliament decided to display the Czech flag alongside the Ukrainian one as a gesture of gratitude for support during the war.
