Pavel Shevtsov, Deputy Head of Rossotrudnichestvo, announced on March 27 that an attack on the Russian House in Prague on March 26 constituted a planned terrorist act targeting Russian property.
In his statement, Shevtsov described the incident as “a targeted attack” aimed at a specific section of the building housing a significant amount of fuel. He confirmed that Rossotrudnichestvo and the Russian Embassy are collaborating with Czech authorities to identify those responsible for the assault.
Earlier on March 26, Igor Girenko, Head of the Russian House in Prague, reported that Molotov cocktails were thrown at the building. Girenko stated that the attack date was not chosen randomly as a cultural event honoring the end of the Days of Russian Culture was scheduled for Friday.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova characterized the incident as “barbaric” in an official statement.
