Mr. Lipavský said he had told the Russian diplomat that murderers who attacked children in hospital were the dregs of humanity and that he should relay that message in Moscow.
The Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the country had attempted to have a representative speak about the matter at the UN Security Council on Tuesday but that this had been blocked by Russia, which is chairing that body this month.

Czech opposition leader Andrej Babiš has welcomed the creation of the Patriots for Europe faction in the European Parliament, saying it is a chance for his ANO party to work with others on a better European Union, to push for greater sovereignty for EU member states, stronger measures against illegal migration and a revision of the Green Deal. The new faction will have a total of 84 MEPs from twelve countries, making it the third biggest faction in the assembly.
The faction will be lead by Jordan Bardella, head of the French far-right National Rally of Marine Le Pen. Klára Dostálová, a Czech MEP for ANO, was elected one of the faction’s vice-presidents. Another Czech party – that of the Oath and Motorists also joined the new grouping.

The new European faction Patriots for Europe, which includes seven ANO MEPs, serves Russian interests, Prime Minister Petr Fiala said on the social network X. “Let us call a spade a spade. Patriots for Europe serves Russia's interests, whether consciously or unconsciously. And in doing so, it threatens the security and freedom of Europe," Fiala wrote on X.
Babiš rejected Fiala's words, calling him “a pathological liar”. According to ANO deputy chairman Karel Havlíček, ANO joined the Patriots for Europe faction in search of allies for the reform of the European Union, not with regard to its stance on the war in Ukraine. ANO has repeatedly said that it considers Russia to be the aggressor in the conflict and that it sides with Ukraine, Havlíček said.
