| Czechs troll Russia with mock annexation of Kaliningrad |
| 2022-10-06 |
| [NYPOST] Some Czechs are trolling Russia with a mock movement to annex the country’s isolated Kaliningrad region — and one elected official even held a Twitter “referendum” on the issue. The satirical annexation of the Baltic Sea region came in reaction to Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s controversial annexation of four regions of war-torn Ukraine last week. A petition is now circulating to pry Kaliningrad from Russia’s hands, with one Russian news site reportedly taking the suggestion seriously. The Czech Republic is a landlocked country and absorbing the region would give Czechs sea access for the first time, “supporters” of the move joked. “It’s time to divide Kaliningrad so that our Czech brothers finally have access to the sea,” said a viral post retweeted by European Parliament member Tomas Zdechovsky. |
