Russian publications refer to Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš’s Radio Praga (Czech Radio) interview which he gave prior to a meeting on illegal migration from Africa with the prime ministers of Italy and Malta. Babiš said that “the Czech Republic will not accept any more refugees who are getting into the European Union via the Mediterranean Sea because it is already accepting people from Ukraine”.
Spinning this statement into a narrative of their own, Russian media began writing about a flood of migrants from Ukraine and that the Czech Republic has given many Ukrainians refuge.
