The Russian government signed a decree to exchange ambassadors with the Czech Republic, but Prague has not yet given its consent, leaving the diplomatic move stalled. The decree, issued by President Vladimir Putin, formalizes Russia’s intent to resume ambassadorial exchanges, though the Czech side has not responded in kind. This development follows earlier tensions, including Russian threats of missile strikes against the Czech Republic, which were dismissed by politicians from the Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD) party as having no impact on their stance. Meanwhile, Czech officials have formally protested to Moscow over threats directed at Czech companies and their allies, a protest that was rejected by Russian authorities. In a separate development, Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský described recent diplomatic engagement with Russia as unexpectedly mature, noting that he had set aside past disagreements to establish clear boundaries in relations with Moscow. Drone manufacturing facilities in the Czech Republic have been identified as potential targets by Russian forces, though officials stated these sites remain well-protected and difficult to access. The situation underscores ongoing friction between Prague and Moscow, despite intermittent diplomatic efforts to manage the relationship.
