Ultimatum of the Czech Republic: Prague prepares to break the treaty of friendship with Moscow and expel 60 diplomats

35

On April 21, 2021, the Czech Senate called on the country's government to terminate the treaty of friendship and cooperation with Russia. This was reported by Česká televize (Czech Television), referring to the results of a meeting of the upper house of parliament.

It is noted that the senators adopted a resolution in which they recognized what happened in the village of Vrbetice seven years ago "an act of state terrorism." They recommended reducing the number of the Russian Embassy in the Czech Republic to 1 person, supporting the earlier organized expulsion of 18 Russian diplomats from the country. At the same time, they condemned the retaliatory actions of the Russian Federation - the expulsion of 20 Czech diplomats from Moscow.



In addition, the legislators advised to hold a discussion of what happened in 2014 near Zlin within the framework of the UN Security Council meetings, the NATO bloc and the events of the European Union, requesting support from the participating countries of the aforementioned intergovernmental organizations and associations. They also asked the government of the Czech Republic to publish the open part of the document relating to these explosions. 67 senators out of 72 present in the hall voted for the resolution.

On the same day, Czech President Milos Zeman appointed Jakub Kulganek as Minister of Foreign Affairs, since the public had serious questions to Jan Hamacek, who combined the posts of the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the country (he simultaneously expelled Russian diplomats, declared Russian citizens on the wanted list and prohibited Rosatom from participating in the tender for the construction of a power unit for the Dukovany NPP). Immediately after his appointment, the chief diplomat of the Czech Republic delivered an ultimatum to Moscow, summoning Russian Ambassador Alexander Zmeevsky to the Foreign Ministry.

The Russian Federation must, by noon tomorrow (13:00 Moscow time on April 22 - ed.), Allow the return of all expelled diplomats to the Czech embassy in Moscow

- Kulhanek informed the Czech media.

He added that if Moscow does not do this, then Prague may expel about 60 employees of the Russian embassy. The minister explained that he wants the number of Russian diplomats to be equal to the number of Czech diplomats.

      Skoda is not Czech for a long time, but German, and in general it was originally "Victory"

              To compensate for the time lost due to the war and the general lack of experience, Gorky engineers borrowed from the Opel model, for example, general plan of the structure of the front suspension, as well as the load-bearing elements of the bottom... However, in no case can it be said that our "Victory" is a copy of the well-known German model. Every line, every knot has been creatively redesigned and rethought. The design of our car is completely original, in the appearance of "Victory" and Kapitan there is practically nothing in common. This can be seen immediately - the German car has much more developed fenders, and the spare wheel was attached outside in a special case (on the trunk lid).

              And in which car dealership you can buy a kosher Jewish car? Or do you still ride on donkeys?

                It’s strange. The victory had nothing to do with the Opel captain, and the Skoda 1100 and 1200, with some fright, became Victory.
                In Israel, there are 100 donkeys per 400 thousand people against 340 in Russia, the average age of donkeys in Israel is 6,7 years, and donkeys in Russia are long-livers, the average age is 13,6.

                Just a cat, they have no time for this now, they received a "hint":

                Syrian air defenses in response to an Israeli missile attack in Damascus province struck the Israeli nuclear center "Dimona" in the southern part of the country in the Negev desert, where a nuclear research center and a nuclear reactor are located.

                  And the blow was struck with an S-200 air defense missile. An original way to attack Dimona.
                  The rocket, by the way, did not reach 30-40 km to Dimona.
                  Everything was simple and transparent. Around midnight, the Israeli Air Force attacked facilities near Damascus, Syrian air defenses launched at planes, one of the missiles, having flown more than 300 km, fell on Israeli territory. After 2-3 hours, the Israelis carried out a sweep of the Syrian air defense base from which the s-200 flew.

                    This is a response to the Israeli terrorist attack at the Iranian nuclear center Natanz, one can assume. Not even an answer, but a slight hint of an answer. The answer would be to hit a surface-to-surface missile directly into Dimona's dome.

        There was a leucine copy of the "Victory" Polish "Warsaw". Can you tell us more about the iCal copy? For all my dislike for the Czechs, it will be fair to say that the Czech “Tatra” has always been famous.
        Zikmund and Hanzelka traveled half of the world on their Tatras: Africa, South America, Asia, Europe, Australia, Oceania - more than a hundred countries in total.

    The intention of the Czech Republic to equalize the number of diplomats in Moscow with the number of Russian
    spies in Prague (there are 60 of them) is quite legitimate and justified. Judging by the reaction of Midsha Zakharova, Russian "diplomats" are wretched loafers.

    Hints, answers ... Why these compositions? Last time the S-200 flew to Cyprus, another to Jordan - this is how Iran responds to Israel with Syria's missiles. I'm laughing at you.

      And in Vienna, indirect negotiations between the United States and Iran are underway, and there, they say, the United States made serious concessions - lifting sanctions from the Iranian state bank, from the oil industry and other articles. But this is still not enough, the Iranians say. Remove all sanctions, then we'll talk. And the rocket towards Dimona fits perfectly into this context.

      Israel must stop shelling its neighbors and stop pushing the United States into war in the region. Yes

    The number of diplomatic missions should be equal, and the natives purchased for servants should be regulated separately by agreement of the parties.
