1) Czechs reveal that Russia sabotaged private Bulgarian arms depot in Vrbetice,
2) Czech president reveals Czech intelligence shows no indication that Russians were behind Vrbetice explosions.
3) Czech Senate looks into whether Czech president should be charged with treason for revealing ‘classified’ information.
A remarkable job of deep coverage.
Alexander, Excellent commentary! Most informative and enlightening. Having listened to your presentation, my ‘spidey-sense’ is telling me that the dismay you detect in the West, and its subdued response to the stand-off of the past few weeks has more to do with the revelation that the FSB and Belarusian KGB intercepted the coup d’état planned for Belarus than with the Russian military buildup on the border with Ukraine.

Plausibly creditable, Alexander. Makes total sense.
