Czechia has declined to participate in the emergency meeting of the UN Security Council, which Russia decided to convene due to the explosions in the border town of Belgorod with Ukraine, according to the Czech Minister of Foreign Affairs Jan Lipavský.
"We refuse to be summoned anywhere by Russia. Czechia will not serve the poisoned lies of the aggressor's propaganda. When Russia is ready to discuss the withdrawal of its occupying forces at the UN Security Council, we will gladly attend," he wrote.
