Politico: Czech Republic to Return Its Ambassador to Russia
The Czech Republic is sending its ambassador back to Russia. Daniel Kostoval is expected to arrive in Moscow in early 2025.
Relations between Moscow and Prague worsened in 2021 after the Czech Republic accused Russia of orchestrating a series of explosions at a munitions depot in Vrvetice in 2014. Both countries have reduced the number of diplomats at their embassies.
Recently, Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky reported that the Czech Republic's main allies, including Great Britain, France, Germany, Poland and the United States, have ambassadors in Russia.
President Petr Pavel said it was necessary to send a Czech ambassador.
