First Deputy Prime Minister Yana Gamachek accused of lies about a trip to Russia. This was stated by Czech Senator Vaclav Lask, reports RIA Novosti.
“confirmed that Mr. Hamachek wanted to go to Moscow, and his statement that it was camouflage is false,” Lask emphasized. So the politician commented on the results of the meeting of the Committee on the International Affairs of the Senate, at which the planned trip of the First Deputy Prime Minister to Russia was discussed, which did not take place.
Earlier it was reported that Hamachek planned on April 19 to put a working visit to Moscow, where he intended to negotiate the purchase of a Russian vaccine against coronavirus “Satellite V” for vaccination in the Czech Republic. However, on April 17, the politician made a statement together with the Prime Minister of the country Andrei Babisch, which announced suspicions about Russia’s involvement in the explosions in Vrbetice in 2014. As a result, the trip of Gamachek to Moscow canceled.
Tensions in Russian-Czech relations arose after the Czech Republic accused Russian special services in involvement in the explosions in warehouses in Vrbetice in 2014, which killed two people. According to Prague, the eve of the incidents in the warehouses were Russians Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov, whom Great Britain accuses to attempt to poison the former Agent Gro Sergei Skriply. Russia involvement in the incident denies.
