“Today, June 10, at 10:00 am, the Charge d'Affaires of Ukraine in Moscow Vasily Pokotilo was summoned to the Foreign Ministry,” she said.

Zakharova said that "he was lodged with a strong protest over another violation by Kiev of its obligations under the Vienna Conventions of 1961 and 1963."

“Once again, we demanded that the Ukrainian side take all the necessary measures to prevent such provocations, provide conditions for the normal operation and inviolability of the Russian Embassy and Consulate General in Ukraine, as well as the safety of their employees,” the Foreign Ministry spokeswoman added.

Earlier it was reported that a group of people from the Ukrainian nationalist organization prevented employees of the Russian consulate and members of the local public organization "Russian House" from laying flowers at the Pushkin monument in the village of Zabolotovtsy, Lviv region.
