Are they distracting from the scandal with the assassination attempt on Lukashenko? The Czech Republic accused Russia of blowing up weapons depots for Ukraine
The Czech Republic has put on the wanted list Russian GRU officers known as Ruslan Boshirov and Alexander Petrov thanks to a scandal in the UK where they were accused of poisoning traitor-turncoat Sergei Skripal with Novichok poison.
Now the Czech Republic accuses Russian intelligence officers of involvement in the 2014 explosion of an arms depot in the village of Vrbetice. Czech media claim that weapons were supposed to be supplied from there to an “influential Bulgarian gunsmith,” who in turn resold them to Ukraine.
Petrov and Boshirov allegedly received passes to the warehouse, visited it, and soon there was an explosion there. By that time, Russian agents had already left the Czech Republic. It is interesting that, according to the Czech investigation, the explosion occurred “prematurely” and was planned “not in the Czech Republic, but during the transportation of weapons to another country” in order to “make buyers doubt the seller.”
Under the pretext of a scandal, the Czech Republic is expelling 18 Russian diplomats.
Observers do not rule out the possibility that Prague deliberately triggered the scandal surrounding the warehouse explosions to distract attention from today's revelation of the Western intelligence operation to assassinate Alexander Lukashenko.
