Animal eyes in blood-stained envelopes: at least eight Ukrainian embassies received threats

Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine informs.

"After terrorist attack in Spain, bloody packages were sent to the embassies in Hungary, the Netherlands, Poland, Croatia, Italy, consulates general in Naples and Krakow, the consulate in Brno. There were animal eyes in the packages. We are studying the meaning of this message," the agency writes.

Packages were reportedly soaked in red liquid and had a foul smell.

"We have reason to believe that well-planned campaign of terror and intimidation of embassies and consulates of Ukraine is taking place. Unable to stop Ukraine on the diplomatic front, they are trying to intimidate us. However, I can immediately say that these attempts are futile. We will continue to work effectively for the victory of Ukraine," Dmytro Kuleba, Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs, believes.

• On November 30, employee of Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid received minor injuries as a result of bomb explosion in the premises of the embassy. Spain previously classified the incident as a terrorist crime. 

• Later, on Wednesday, Spanish company Instalaza, which manufactures weapons for Ukraine, received a package with presumably explosive device. In particular, Instalaza manufactures anti-tank grenade launchers used by Ukrainian army in war with Russia. At the beginning of war, Spanish Minister of Defense, Margareta Robles, announced that Kyiv would receive 1,370 such devices. 

• Today, explosives in a postal package were also sent to the US Embassy in Madrid.
