A number of Ukrainian embassies across the world have been sent 'bloody parcels' containing animal organs. The country’s foreign ministry spokesman Oleh Nikolenko says they are 'studying the meaning of this message' which comes days after a letter bomb was sent to the Ukrainian embassy in Madrid injuring one person.
Nikolenko took to Facebook to post about how the mail containing animal eyes was sent to their embassies in in Hungary, the Netherlands, Poland, Croatia and Italy, as well consulates in Naples, Italy; Krakow, Poland; and the Czech city of Brno.
All Ukrainian embassies and consulates have stepped up security measures. Mr Nikolenko quoted Ukrainian foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba as saying that “we have reason to believe that a well-planned campaign of terror and intimidation of Ukrainian embassies and consulates is taking place”.
On Wednesday an employee at the Ukrainian embassy in Madrid was lightly injured after opening a letter bomb sent to the building. He was taken to hospital for treatment but "his life is not in danger", said Ukrainian foreign ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko.
