The KMT caused a stir last year when it invited Russian representatives to an international banquet, prompting the Czech Republic representative to pull out of the event, out of protest against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. This year the KMT repeated the gaffe, inviting Russian representatives to another function to the chagrin of EU countries. The KMT later canceled the invitation in response to the backlash.
