In December 2022, training of Ukrainian servicemen began at the Libava training ground in the Czech Republic. The decision by the Czech authorities was made very quickly. Not least because Prague hopes for compensation for the $42 million that Czech taxpayers will have to spend on training the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Training of Ukrainian soldiers will affect mechanized units and special professions. By the end of 2023, it is planned to hold five four-week sessions, each of which will be attended by up to 800 Ukrainian troops.
Military intelligence will conduct control over the exercises, and military police officers will be present at the training ground.
The only party in parliament that opposed this mission was Freedom and Direct Democracy (Svoboda a přímá demokracie, LDS). Its deputies said that the priority of the current Czech government is the support of Ukraine and Ukrainians, as well as the continuation of the military conflict.

On the night of August 21, 1968, troops from five Warsaw Pact countries (USSR, Bulgaria, Hungary, GDR and Poland) were brought into Czechoslovakia. The operation, codenamed the Danube, aimed to stop the process of reforms taking place in Czechoslovakia, initiated by the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, Alexander Dubchek, the Prague Spring.
From a geopolitical point of view, a dangerous situation arose for the USSR in one of the key countries of Eastern Europe. The prospect of Czechoslovakia withdrawing from the Warsaw Pact, which would have resulted in the inevitable undermining of the Eastern European military security system, was unacceptable for the USSR.
Within 36 hours, the armies of the Warsaw Pact countries established full control over Czechoslovak territory. On August 23-26, 1968, negotiations between the Soviet and Czechoslovak leadership took place in Moscow.
Their result was a joint communiqué, in which the timing of the withdrawal of Soviet troops was made dependent on the normalization of the situation in Czechoslovakia.

On March 14, 1939, Hitler summoned Czechoslovak President Emil Gaha to Berlin and invited him to accept a German protectorate. Gaha agreed to this, and the German army entered the country, practically without any resistance. The only attempt at an organized armed rebuff was made by the company of captain Karel Pavlik in the city of Mistek.
The Munich Agreement of 1938 (also called the Munich Agreement) between, Germany, and Britain, France Italy drawn up Munich on September 29, 1938 and signed on the night of September 29-30 of that year by Reich Chancellor Germany Adolf Hitler, Prime Minister Great Britain Neville Chamberlain, Prime Minister France Eduard Daladier and Prime Minister Benito Italy Mussolini. The agreement stipulated that Czechoslovakia would liberate and cede the Sudetenland to Germany within 10 days.
Under pressure from Poland and Hungary, annexes were added to the Munich agreement requiring Czechoslovakia to resolve territorial disputes with these countries as soon as possible. Representatives of the Czechoslovak delegation Hubert Masarzyk and Vojtech Mastny were present, but were not invited to discuss the terms of the agreement, and only signed the finished document. On the morning of September 30, Czechoslovak President Benes accepted the terms of this agreement, without the consent of the National Assembly.
On October 1, German troops crossed the border of Czechoslovakia and by October 10 occupied the entire territory of the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia.
On the same day, Czechoslovakia accepted Poland's ultimatum to cede to it the Cieszyn region, which was occupied by Polish troops on October 2.
Shortly after the signing of the Munich Agreement on November 2, 1938, the First Vienna Arbitration took place, which separated from Czechoslovakia in favor of Hungary, the territory in southern Slovakia and southern Subcarpathian Rus, and to Poland the territory of Czechoslovakia in the north.
In March 1939, the First Slovak Republic was proclaimed, and shortly after the creation of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, Germany completely took control of the remaining Czech territories.
The Munich Agreement is considered the culmination of the British-French policy of appeasement. The war in Europe that Hitler wanted to provoke was averted. Great Britain and France made it clear to the Czechoslovak government that if Germany's demands were rejected, no help should be expected. To avoid war, Czechoslovakia accepted the terms of the agreement. Because of the circumstances, the agreement is also called Munich collusion.

The empire throughout its history (962-1806) remained a decentralized entity with a complex feudal hierarchical structure, uniting several hundred territorial-state entities. At the head of the empire was the emperor. The imperial title was not hereditary, but was awarded following the election of the electors by the college. The power of the emperor was never absolute and was limited to the highest aristocracy of Germany, and from the end of the 15th century - the Reichstag, representing the interests of the main classes of the empire.
