Russian Ambassador to Poland Sergey Andreev was covered in red paint by Anti-war activists
During Victory Day in Warsaw, protesters prevented the ambassador and others from laying flowers on graves
Andreev attended the cemetery to pay respects to Red Army soldiers who died during World War 2.
As he arrived at the Soviet Soldiers Cemetery in the Polish capital, he was met by hundreds of activists opposed to Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Eyewitness footage shows red paint being thrown from behind, before a protester standing beside him throws a big blob of it in his face.
The protesters carried Ukrainian flags and chanted “fascist” and “murderer” at him.

They were told that it won’t fly in Warsaw after what their state is doing in Ukraine and were kindly asked to leave quickly. pic.twitter.com/mHZjtuZLiV
Others were dressed in white sheets smeared with blood, symbolizing the Ukrainian victims of Russia’s war.
He wasn’t the only one, people part of the Ambassador’s entourage were also seen splattered with what appeared to be red paint too.
