MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Russia's Foreign Ministry said Monday that Ukrainian authorities must comply with their international obligations amid the recent attack on the Russian Center of Science and Culture in Kiev.
"Moscow demands that the Ukrainian side strictly complies with the international obligations it has undertaken, including those outlined in the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, to ensure that Russian missions are able to safely operate in that country. Ukrainian authorities must realize that condoning radicals and their illegal activities may lead to very serious consequences," ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a statement.
According to Zakharova, the Kiev attack serves as "another manifestation of the Russophobic hysteria gaining momentum in Ukraine."
