- When asked if Prague is preparing for potential Russian action, Babis stated he is discussing security challenges with Czech President Petr Pavel. He said, 'I don't see a reason to share classified information.'
- Babis has faced criticism for 2023 comments rejecting deployment of Czech soldiers to fight for allies. His government has halted military aid to Ukraine and opted out of NATO and EU financing pledges for Kyiv.
