A strong protest was expressed to the diplomat against the Czech Government’s resolution on November 15 to include Russian state property, “Gossobstvennost,” on the list of national sanctions,” the statement said.

Cistecky was also told about the “freezing” of the company’s assets and the prohibition of management and use of federal property and real estate in the Czech Republic, the report added.

According to the Russian Foreign Ministry, “such legal arbitrariness is unacceptable.”

“In order to protect its legitimate interests, the Russian side will use all means, including taking retaliatory measures against Czech real estate assets in Russia,” the statement said.

Western countries condemned the special military operation that Russia launched in Ukraine on February 24, 2022, and are trying to raise the cost of the conflict for Moscow.

According to Russian President Vladimir Putin, the policy of containment towards Russia is part of the long-term strategy of the West, whose sanctions deal a severe blow to the world economy.
