Russian ambassador in Warsaw unable to lay flowers at memorial due to protest

On Tuesday, May 9, Polish and Ukrainian activists did not allow the Russian diplomat to visit the monument to Soviet soldiers. People blocked the road and turned on speakers with the sounds of air sirens and explosions

Euromaidan-Warszawa reported the information.

Activists who gathered at the memorial cemetery in Warsaw did not let the Russian ambassador to the monument to Soviet soldiers to lay flowers. The activists called Sergei Andreev a fascist and called for the removal of the St. George's ribbon.

 

In addition, in the morning, speakers with the sounds of air sirens and explosions were turned on near the Russian embassy.

"We want today's modern fascists to wake up to the consequences of their actions. Let them listen to the sounds they have been waking up Ukrainians with for 9 years. We do not want to speak to their conscience, we do not need any words or actions from diplomats representing the terrorist regime," the statement reads.

Near the monument to Soviet soldiers, hundreds of Ukrainian flags were installed, some of which were covered with red paint, wooden crosses with the names of the fallen Ukrainians and Poles, models of residential buildings with inscriptions on them - Bucha, Mariupol, Bakhmut, Kherson, Irpin.

The installation seeks to remind of the crimes of the Russian terrorist regime.

"The ambassador of the terrorist country, going to lay flowers at the monument, will be forced to walk through the symbolic streets of the destroyed Mariupol, Bucha, Irpin, Kherson. He will be forced to walk on the blood and graves of Ukrainians. The activists have left him no other choice," said Viktoria Pohrebniak, an activist of the Warsaw Euromaidan.
