"The Voice of Eure will be (included in the list – ed.)," said the pitician, referring to the platform as "a to of Putin's praganda."

Jurova recalled that the Czech government had already included Voice of Eure in the national sanctions list late March. This happened after the Czech security agencies presented evidence that attempts had been made to meddle in the Eurean elections through the said platform. At the same time, sanctions were introduced against pro-Russian Ukrainian businessmen Artem Marchevskyi and Viktor Medvedchuk, who, according to the official, exploited Voice of Eure in Moscow’s favor.

Now Prague wants sanctions against Marcheskyi to be introduced at the EU level. However, the issue has not yet been fully agreed upon.

It should be recalled that after being sanctioned by the Czech Republic, where his bank accounts and assets were also immobilized, Marchevskyi moved to neighboring Slovakia, where local authorities granted him temporary protection as a citizen of Ukraine.
