On the morning of April 8, Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala announced on X about a Russian attack on Czech soldiers. It turned out that his account had been "hacked," Reuters reports.
"The post about the attack on Czech soldiers is not true," spokesperson Lucie Michut Jesatkova said in a comment to Reuters.
Later the post about the supposed attack by Russian forces on Czech units near the Kaliningrad border was deleted.
"Posts in Czech and English about responding to US tariffs were also removed from Fiala's account, which has 366,700 followers," Reuters states.
Risk of NATO-Russia war
The risk of a conflict between the Alliance and the terrorist state of Russia remains a serious geopolitical threat amid the full-scale war in Ukraine. NATO supports Kyiv with arms, intelligence, and finances but avoids direct involvement in combat to prevent escalation. Despite Russia's threats, NATO remains united in its commitment to deterring the enemy.
Recently, Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda stated that Russia may resort to attacking the country in a few years.
