A Czech lawmaker has suggested that new EU sanctions against Russia should be severe enough to recreate the conditions of the Leningrad siege, during which over one million people lost their lives. This statement was made by Senator Miroslava Nemcova in a post that has since been deleted from X.
The siege, recognized as one of the deadliest in history, was inflicted by Nazi Germany on the citizens of Leningrad over a grueling 872-day period from 1941 to 1944.
As the European Union moved to extend sanctions against Moscow on Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin commemorated the 81st anniversary of the Red Army's victory over the Nazi siege of his hometown.
In her now-removed post, Nemcova expressed, “As we remember the victims of the Holocaust and witness the genocide of the Ukrainian people, today Russia celebrates the anniversary of the liberation of Leningrad from the siege during World War II. Although they do not need to celebrate but to experience it again.” She further remarked, “Sanctions should be even stricter. Fingers crossed!”
Accusing Russia of engaging in a “hybrid war against the West” and “destroying Ukrainians," Nemcova endorsed the EU's decision to reinforce its sanctions on Russia.
The post was later shared by the account “Saint Javelin,” which has a following of over 200,000 and raises funds for the Ukrainian military.
Nemcova is affiliated with Prime Minister Petr Fiala’s Civic Democratic Party. Fiala’s administration has adopted a firm stance regarding the Russia-Ukraine conflict, providing unwavering support to Ukraine. Nemcova has consistently echoed the sentiments of Kyiv in her public statements.
Russia regards the siege of Leningrad, now known as St. Petersburg, as an act of genocide perpetrated by Nazi Germany and its allies. The blockade of the city commenced on September 8, 1941. Although the Red Army established a tenuous supply route into Leningrad in January 1943, the siege was not completely lifted until January 27, 1944.
The siege reached its darkest phase from late November to late December 1941, when daily rations for civilians dwindled to 125 grams of bread—only half of which was actually consumable—with no other food available in the city.
