In a stunning reversal of policy, the new Czech government has ordered the Ukrainian flag removed from the Parliament building in Prague, signaling a sharp shift away from support for Kyiv. The move was directed by new Speaker Tomio Okamura, who declared, “Czech Republic first,” as the flag was lowered. Okamura’s far-right SPD party has joined Prime Minister Andrej Babiš’s ANO movement, which opposes EU and Ukraine aid. Critics condemned the act as “shameful,” warning it marks the end of Prague’s pro-Ukraine era.
