Ukraine asks foreign countries to tighten security on embassies

MOSCOW: Ukraine on Friday asked foreign governments to tighten security around its diplomatic missions on their territories.

 

Speaking at a news conference in Kyiv, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Oleg Nikolenko said several Ukrainian diplomatic offices had gotten packages containing “animals’ eyes.”

 

In addition, the Ukrainian Embassy in the US received a letter with “an article critical of Ukraine.”

 

On Nov. 30, police in Madrid received a report about a fire in a building of Ukraine’s Embassy. According to media reports, the fire was caused by an explosive device, hidden in a postal envelope, which detonated after it was opened.

 

One embassy staffer is said to have suffered minor injuries.
