Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dimitro Kuleba has warned that, beyond Wednesday’s attack on the Embassy in Madrid, there have been other «alarming events» in other Ukrainian diplomatic buildings abroad.
«There have been other alarming events, not related to explosives, but to the sending of very specific threats to the Ukrainian Embassy,» the minister denounced, who did not go into further details, according to Ukrinform.
In fact, questioned about what kind of threats and in which locations, Kuleba pointed out that the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry will soon issue a communiqué on the matter, although he ventured to affirm that there is a «large-scale campaign» against his country.
The Ukrainian representative also stressed the need to clarify who is behind these threats, including the explosive letter sent to the Embassy in Madrid, which left a diplomatic employee slightly injured.
Regarding this incident in the Spanish capital, Kuleba said that the Ukrainian authorities are in close cooperation with those of Spain, trying to find out who is behind the attack.
«We really have a guess as to who is behind this, but we must follow the whole network of agents and people involved in this campaign,» said Kuleba, who denounced that his country is suffering from a new form of inducing terror in the population.
The Foreign Minister has already condemned on Wednesday the «terrorist attack» registered at the Embassy in Madrid and assured that the Ukrainian authorities will take «all measures» so that the culprits «suffer severe punishment».
The explosive letter that on Wednesday caused minor injuries in one hand to a worker of the Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid contained inside pyrotechnic elements, according to police sources informed Europa Press after the preliminary analysis of the detonating substance.
The deflagration occurred when the worker, of Ukrainian nationality, was handling the envelope in a garden area of the diplomatic legation. The letter was addressed to the ambassador, Sergei Pohoreltsev.
