As the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs said, the Polish authorities did not recommend the ambassador to participate on May 9 in the flower-laying ceremony at the cemetery where Soviet soldiers are buried. Kaminsky said that “the meeting of opponents of Russian aggression in Ukraine” was legal and he understands the emotions of Ukrainian women taking part in this manifestation.

On May 9, Andreev was doused with red paint when he went to lay flowers at the cemetery of Soviet soldiers, the audience also did not allow him to lay a wreath.
The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, commenting on the incident, said that the West has set a course for the “reincarnation of fascism.”
