Protesters doused Russia’s ambassador to Poland, Sergei Andreev, in bright red paint — resembling fake blood — as he was arriving at an event to honor Soviet soldiers who fought in World War II.
Russia’s Foreign Ministry called those responsible for the attack “admirers of neo-Nazism.”
“The demolition of monuments to the heroes of World War II, the desecration of graves, and now the disruption of the flower-laying ceremony on a holy day for every decent person prove the already obvious — the West has set a course for the reincarnation of fascism,” Zakharova wrote on Telegram. Russia has leveled baseless charges that Ukraine is being led by Nazis, even though its president is Jewish, and has claimed its forces are fighting to “denazify” the country. Ukrainians resisting the invasion describe Russian leaders and troops as “rashists,” a coinage for Russian fascists, and charge that they are the ones acting more like Nazis.
