Lipavský summons Russian ambassador after accusatory comments at UN

Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský has summoned the Russian Ambassador to Czechia Alexander Zmeyevskiy after Russia accused Czech Defence Minister Jana Černochová of supporting terrorism at the UN Security Council. The comment was made by Russia’s ambassador to the United Nations, Vasily Nebenzya, after Defence Minister Černochová said that she did not feel sorry for Daria Dugina, the recently murdered daughter of Russian ideologue Alexander Dugin, nor for her father, but rather for the thousands murdered as a result of their propaganda.

Mr Lipavský said that “if Russia wants to talk about terrorism, they should sweep their own doorstep.”
