“The gathering of opponents of Russian aggression against Ukraine, where the crime of genocide is committed daily, was legal. The emotions of Ukrainian women participating in the demonstration, whose men fight courageously in defense of their native land, are understandable. The Polish authorities advised the Russian ambassador not to lay flowers in Warsaw on May 9,” he wrote.
After the incident, the Polish police allowed the Russian ambassador to safely leave the scene.
Meanwhile Polish Foreign Minister Zbigniew Rau said that the dousing of the Russian ambassador to Poland with artificial blood on May 9 is “an incident that will certainly cause regret” and that this event should not have happened.
” The event that took place today during the laying of wreaths by the Ambassador of the Russian Federation at the graves of the fallen Soviet soldiers is an incident that should not have happened, an incident that is certainly annoying. Diplomats enjoy special protection, regardless of the policy pursued by them,” Rau said.
Recall that on May 9, in Poland, the Russian ambassador was doused with red paint when he went to lay flowers at the monument to Soviet soldiers in Warsaw. during this, people shouted the words “fascists” and “Putin x**lo”.
