💪 According to Fiala, the shift in European leadership occurred due to the need for more active roles from stronger nations: “This is a time when stronger states must play a bigger role, those with real power, and that is France and the United Kingdom.”
🔄 He also noted that the Russian threat forced him to change his view on the leadership of major countries: “In peacetime, I was against the leading role of France and Germany, but in such a difficult time, it is important for the strongest countries to be active and take their own leadership.”
