Hamacek dismisses reports on his planned Moscow barter

Czech Deputy PM Jan Hamacek on Tuesday dismissed reports that he wanted to exchange information related to the attack on Vrbetice ammunition depot in 2014 for deliveries of the Sputnik V vaccine against Covid-19 and a US-Russian summit held in Prague, as news portal Seznam Zpravy has said. Hamacek said the Seznam Zpravy article was "based on speculations and lies" which none of the participants of his planned visit to Moscow had "confirmed or could confirm because it did not happen."
