For expulsion of 18 Russian diplomats from the Czech Republic there are no reason. The first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Dmitry Novikov said this to Interfax.
“18 diplomats are already very extreme things,” he noted. The deputy added that he considers the bad situation at which “the racing effect occurs when many seek to swear to the loyalty to the new team in Washington, and be in” Front “.”
Novikov also stated that the relationship between sending diplomats and a seven-year explosion is strange and funny. “When it comes to such a distance – seven years – there are many questions, at least related to the fact that if they had some suspicions, then why they were not voiced before.”
If Prague had some evidence, the Czech side would not fail to take advantage before. “This is an absolutely contrived story, next to which the term” hysteria “should stand – he summarized.
Czech Republic announced the expulsion from the country of 18 Russian diplomats earlier on April 17. They are suspected of working on Russian special services, which are allegedly involved in the explosion in the warehouse of ammunition in Vrbetice on October 16, 2014. Then exploded, presumably ten thousand kilograms of ammunition, including medium-range missiles. As a result, two people died. The reason for the explosion remained unknown, on one of the versions he happened due to the negligence of workers.
