🇨🇿The Czech Republic is reinstating its ambassador to Moscow after nearly a three-year hiatus, appointing former Deputy Defense Minister Daniel Koštoval to the position.

“The key countries that are strategic allies of the Czech Republic – the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Poland, and the United States – have their ambassadors in Russia. I wish the ambassador much strength in this challenging mission,” said Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský.

Diplomatic tensions between the Czech Republic and Russia have persisted since 2021 when Czech intelligence revealed that Russian agents were involved in the 2014 ammunition depot explosions in Vrbětice.
