Expelled diplomats leave Czech Republic

PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC - MAY 29: Russian special government plane lands at the Vaclav Havel Airport in Prague, Czech Republic on May 29, 2021. The diplomatic rift between the Czech Republic and Russia is the result of the findings of Czech investigators that Russian secret service agents were involved in the explosions in ammunition depots in Vrbetice in the Zlin region in 2014. In April, the Czechia decided to expel 18 employees of the embassy, ââwhich it described as officers of the Russian secret services. At that time, Moscow responded by expelling 20 diplomats or employees of the Czech embassy in the Russian capital. (Photo by Lukas Kabon/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
