PRAGUE (Reuters) - The Czech Republic does not favour hosting foreign NATO troops as part of the alliance's plans to boost its eastern wing over the Ukraine crisis, its defence minister said, in sharp contrast to some of its regional peers.

Martin Stropnicky, whose country joined NATO along with Poland and Hungary in 1999, also accused Russia in an interview of waging a "disinformation campaign" in the Czech Republic and elsewhere in Europe over its policies and goals in Ukraine.
