Poll: Most Czechs consider Russia “future threat”

Some 65 percent of Czechs consider Russia a threat for their country’s future, according to a poll by the STEM agency released on Friday. Last November, a similar poll found that 36 percent of Czechs considered Russia a threat. A majority of Czechs, 80 percent, also consider the crisis in Ukraine to threaten peace in Europe. However, 72 percent of those who took part in the survey said they did not believe that EU sanctions against Russia would help bring the conflict in Ukraine to an end.
