Russia does not plan to close its embassies in Europe in response to the unfriendly measures of the West and the expansion of its sanctions against Moscow, RIA Novosti reported today, Tuesday, with reference to the Deputy Foreign Minister.
“This is not in our tradition, so we consider the work of diplomatic missions important,” Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko told RIA Novosti.
Protesters against the war in Ukraine threw a red object at the Russian ambassador to Poland as he walked to lay flowers at the Soviet military cemetery in Warsaw to mark the 77th anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany in World War II.
Moscow then sent a note of “strong protest.”
The Russian ambassador to Poland was attacked by pro-Ukrainian demonstrators who threw a red substance symbolizing blood at him, hitting his shirt and head as he prepared to lay a wreath at a cemetery in Warsaw where Soviet soldiers who died during World War II lay. .
