The Czech government has placed the operators of the „Voice of Europe“ website on its national sanctions list directed against Russia. This was announced by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Prague on Wednesday. The website is part of a Russian influence operation aimed at calling into question the territorial integrity, sovereignty and freedom of Ukraine. Behind it is the oligarch Viktor Medvedchuk, who was charged with treason in Ukraine but ended up in Russia as part of a prisoner exchange. Medvedchuk, who is considered a confidant of Russian President Vladimir Putin, was also personally placed on the sanctions list, according to the ministry.
