Moscow will respond to the Czech Republic’s actions, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova was quoted as saying by the Associated Press after Prague expelled 18 Russian embassy staff on suspicion that Russian intelligence services were involved in explosions at a Czech military warehouse in 2014. rledade BTA.

“Prague is fully aware of what will follow after such tricks,” the spokeswoman stressed last night.

The Czech government’s statement on the connection between Russian intelligence services and the case in 2014 resonated throughout the Czech Republic, the AP notes.

The leader of the Czech opposition Civic Democratic Party, Petar Fiala, described what happened in 2014 as “state terrorism”.

“It was an obvious military attack on our sovereign territory,” said Jiri Shedivi, a former chief of the Czech General Staff. He stressed that Prague must respond “decisively” to Moscow’s actions.

The Czech decision is a demonstration of support for the latest US sanctions against Moscow, Vladislav Belov, deputy director of the Institute of Europe at the Russian Academy of Sciences, told TASS. “There is no other version,” Belov added, noting that the day before, Prague had declared Russian diplomats persona non grata, for the same reasons.

According to the Russian expert, behind these cases is Washington’s desire to support its anti-Russian course through concerted actions of the “collective West”, TASS notes.
