Expulsion of Russian Diplomats Coincides with Ukraine Conflict Escalation

V4  governments quickly put out a joint statement in support of Czechia's  expulsion of 18 Russian diplomats following an intelligence services  investigation into Russian spy involvement in an ammunition warehouse  blast in 2014. While the statement was communicated quickly after the  news broke, coordinating a common V4 position on other aspects  concerning Russia has been difficult - especially in relation to the  armed conflict in Ukraine. In this week's episode, we discuss each V4  country stance following the latest incident and unpack the significance  of a joint statement condemning all activities aimed at threatening the  security of Central Europe.
