The leader of the liberal Yabloko party, Grigory Yavlinsky, criticized the publication by the Russian leadership of a list of unfriendly states. Yavlinsky said this at the pre-election congress of the political force, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Is it common to compile lists of unfriendly countries? And these unfriendly countries include such giant countries as the USA (where Russia is officially designated as an “enemy” state – ed.), and small countries,” the liberal complained.
Yavlinsky was especially concerned about the appearance of the Czech Republic on the list, from where Russia faces accusations of blowing up military ammunition depots for a punitive operation against Donbass, and last year a monument to Marshal Ivan Konev was demolished.
“Many of you have been to Prague, and you know that almost everything can be done there with the Russian language, there is an absolutely open attitude - and now the Czech Republic is one of the unfriendly countries. What is it? This is a complete failure of the entire foreign policy,” the liberal laments.
