The Russian Foreign Ministry summoned Jan Ondřejka, a representative of the Czech Embassy in Moscow, this week over Prague's stance on the recent bombing of the Ukrainian village of Hroza, the Czech News Agency reported on Saturday, citing the Russian Foreign Ministry's own website. The Russian Foreign Ministry described the idea that Russia was responsible for the airstrike as a fabrication and said that it had "communicated the Russian position" on the situation in Ukraine to the Czech diplomat.

The Russian ministry's website went on to complain about Czechia's active support of and provision of weapons to Ukraine, which the ministry said was "contributing to the continuation of the conflict and destabilising the entire region".

According to Kyiv, 55 people were killed in the airstrike on Hroza, which it blames on Russia.
