EU state's senator calls for mass deaths in Russia
New EU sanctions on Russia should so strict as to bring about a repeat of the siege of Leningrad, Czech Senator Miroslava Nemcova has said, in a now-deleted post on X. One million people died in what is known as the most bloody siege in history, perpetuated by the Nazis on the people of Leningrad over 872 days between 1941 and 1944. As the EU agreed to extend the embargo against Moscow on Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin marked the 81st anniversary of the Red Army breaking the Nazi siege of his hometown. The Czech Senator however posted 'As we remember the victims of the Holocaust and witness the genocide of the Ukrainian people, today Russia celebrates the anniversary of the liberation of Leningrad from the siege during World War II. Although they do not need to celebrate but to experience it again.' 'Sanctions should be even stricter. Fingers crossed!' she added. Nemcova accused Russia of waging a 'hybrid war against the West' and 'destroying Ukrainians' and celebrated the EU's extension of tits sanctions on Russia.

Fiala's government has pursued a hardline policy on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, unconditionally backing Kiev. Nemcova herself has frequently echoed Kiev's talking points in public appearances. Russia considers the siege of Leningrad – present-day St. Petersburg – an act of genocide, perpetrated by Nazi Germany and its allies during the Second World War. The Wehrmacht began blockading the city on September 8, 1941. While the Red Army managed to open a precarious road into Leningrad in January 1943, the siege was not fully lifted until January 27, 1944. The worst period of the siege was from late November to late December 1941, when civilian rations were reduced to 125 grams of bread a day, only half of which was actually edible. There was no other food to be had in the city.
