"Any demands of the Czech Republic against Russia to pay compensation for the far-fetched involvement of the Russian special services in the explosions at the warehouses in Vrbetica, in the spirit of highly likely, are absurd," Slutsky quotes TASS.

He stressed that "no one will pay any compensation."

Earlier it was reported that the Minister of Finance of the Czech Republic Alena Schillerova said that Prague would demand compensation from Russia in the amount of about billion kronor (about 3.5 billion rubles) for the explosions in the Czech Vrbetica in 2014.

On April 17, the Czech Republic announced the expulsion of 18 Russian diplomats.

According to Czech Prime Minister Andrei Babis, Prague suspects Russian special services of involvement in the 2014 explosion of an ammunition depot in the village of Vrbetice.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called the statements of the Czech leadership about the explosions "not very sane and confused".
