Vaclav Klaus' speech in Davos covered the veil of silence, so he published them:

Former Czech president Vaclav Klaus, (held this office from 2003 to 2013), at the last forum in Davos, stated that NATO had provoked Russia to launch a military operation in Ukraine, which the Kremlin did not intend to occupy. The speeches did not announcement and did not mention the main planet media, as the trend of the mainstream anti-Russian propaganda of the West is being torn away. Hence Vaclav Klaus published them on his website. He points out in his deliberations a number of crucial but eagerly overlooked facts, e.g. that "Ukraines before the war could not be called Western-type democracy, a full marketplace economy country or a country consolidated in terms of territory and nationality." In contrast, "The pretending that this is not the case and discussing the present war in Ukraine as if it were in vacuum is useless and unproductive," he says. He believes that "wars in Ukraine were and could be avoided". “We gotta admit that we – the remainder of the planet – failed. It becomes increasingly apparent that after this tragic historical event only losers will remain. There will be no winners. War has changed the planet and the destiny of all of us, ” she convinces. It proves that the geopolitical debate on this subject, peculiarly in Europe and the United States, is "more superficial than it deserves", peculiarly in the context of the "end of the monopoly planet of fresh decades". "This war began on April 4, 2008 . On that day, at the NATO Summit in Bucharest, a decision was made to welcome Ukraine and Georgia to NATO. I was present at this event, I sat there and already knew that what happened was a tragic mistake. I tried to argue it. This decision was forced by the United States and the United Kingdom (George W. Bush and Gordon Brown) against the position of most participating countries and against the position of Germany and France. I admit that I felt very depressed there. Many of the current presidents and prime ministers have been silent for a very long evening. It is besides known that the US Ambassador to Moscow W. Burns warned the U.S. government at the time, that this meant for Russia the crossing of all the alleged "red lines", he recalls. He claims that according to the known data, all indicate that in February 2022 Russia did not intend to occupy Ukraine, the intent was to change the authorities in Kiev and to hold Ukraine's possible of membership of NATO. “That is why they only entered Ukraine with very tiny military forces. It was and it is clear that they did not intend to hazard and effort to occupy Ukraine. The Russians knew the results of the crucial presidential election in 2010: the pro-western candidate won in the west, north and center of Ukraine, and the pro-Russian candidate in the east and south. It was a large mistake not to pay attention to this fundamental division of the country," Klaus notes. In his speech he recalled that the civilian war has been taking place in east Ukraine since 2014. And in the current phase, this home semblance “After almost 2 years of war, it seems that all sides of the conflict have miscalculated. Not only Russia and Ukraine, but besides the United States and Europe. Based on the military situation, the 1,200-kilometre front, but for insignificant changes, is now more or little frozen. The end of the war cannot be seen. ” It argues that this issue of ‘a priori prejudices’ should be discussed. "I only have a procedural consultation. My humble advice is to start negotiations. Not only between Russia and Ukraine, ” adds up his speech, silenced by everyone, Klaus.
