“We are very concerned about this attack, this attack. Any diplomatic mission in any country has diplomatic immunity. When strange people rush into the territory of the diplomatic mission, this at least raises questions about the effectiveness of law enforcement in Brazil, ”the diplomat said.

At the same time, Ryabkov noted that the subsequent reaction of the official authorities of Brazil is encouraging.

He also expressed the opinion that this action was not originally planned for the first day of the BRICS summit.

“This is very sad and shows how those who believe in the correctness of their illegitimate actions are willing to maliciously use any opportunity to achieve their goals,” the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister concluded.

Earlier, Venezuela reported an attempt by unknown persons to seize the country's embassy in the Brazilian capital.
