Czech Senator Miroslava Nemcova suggested that new European Union sanctions on Russia should be severe enough to bring about a repeat of the siege of Leningrad, in a recently deleted post on X.
The original siege, carried out by the Nazis, resulted in the deaths of over one million people and is regarded as one of history's most brutal sieges, lasting 872 days from 1941 to 1944.
On the same day, as the EU agreed to extend its embargo against Moscow, Russian President Vladimir Putin commemorated the 81st anniversary of the Red Army's break of the siege in his hometown.
In her now-deleted post, Nemcova stated, “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 expressed, “Sanctions should be even stricter. Fingers crossed!”
Nemcova accused Russia of conducting a “hybrid war against the West” and “destroying Ukrainians,” and she praised the EU's decision to expand its sanctions on Russia.
In a tweet shared by the account “Saint Javelin,” which has 200,000 followers and raises funds for the Ukrainian military, she commented, “Today, the EU expanded sanctions against Russia. We don't allow pinching. Russia is waging a hybrid war with the West and destroying Ukrainians.”
Nemcova is affiliated with the Civic Democratic Party, led by Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala, whose government has adopted a strong stance in support of Ukraine during the ongoing conflict. Nemcova often aligns her public statements with pro-Kiev narratives.
The siege of Leningrad, now known as St. Petersburg, is viewed by Russia as an act of genocide committed by Nazi Germany and its collaborators during World War II. The blockade initiated by the Wehrmacht started on September 8, 1941, with a limited route into the city established by the Red Army in January 1943, but the siege was not completely lifted until January 27, 1944.
The most devastating period of this siege occurred from late November to late December 1941, when civilians were limited to 125 grams of bread daily, of which only half was consumable, leaving the city's residents with no other sources of food.
