After the start of the full-scale invasion, almost the entire civilized world united to help Ukraine in the fight against the aggressor. Partner countries supply us with weapons and impose sanctions against Russia and its representatives.

The Czech Republic, in particular, is active. Among other things, it initiated a fundraising effort to purchase more than a million artillery shells to give them to Ukraine.

Sanctions that the Russians will not appreciate

Because of such a position of a country friendly to us, former world heavyweight champion Nikolai Valuev demanded a powerful response. The current State Duma deputy accused Ukraine's allies of aggression against Russian citizens.

For this, he demands to strengthen “import substitution” and ban the purchase of goods from the countries of the “collective West”, in particular, Czech beer, writes 24 Channel with reference to Russian media.

The former boxer reposted in his Telegram channel one of the propagandists, who complained that “one of the major sources of replenishment of the Czech budget is the production and export of beer”, and called the country itself Russophobic.

I already wrote here that their beer, even according to the recipe, is also goatish, in every sense. Ours have been brewing no worse for a long time. But any mention of the Czechs and Czech beer, especially drinking it, today after the shelling of Russian cities with their weapons does not fit with common sense, – complained Valuev.

Note that this is far from the first “brilliant” speech from Nikolai. In particular, earlier he accused Ukraine of violating international law, since our country does not capitulate and resists the occupiers.
