"Russia expects an official apology from the Polish leadership in connection with the incident and demands the safety of the Russian ambassador and all employees of Russian foreign institutions in Poland are ensured," it said in a statement.On Wednesday afternoon, red paint was splattered over the entrance to the Polish Embassy in Moscow, a spokesman for the Polish foreign ministry said.
Polish Foreign Minister Zbigniew Rau said authorities had warned Andreev that attending the cemetery on Monday, when Russia was commemorating the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany in World War II, risked provoking an incident, according to the state-run PAP news agency. "However, what happened does not in any way change our position that diplomatic representatives of foreign countries are entitled to protection... no matter how much we feel the need to disagree with the policy of the government that the diplomat represents," Rau was quoted as saying.
Relations between Russia and the West have become fraught since Moscow sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine on Feb 24 in what it calls a"special military operation" to disarm the country and protect it from"fascists".
