EU embassies in Kyiv remain operational despite Russian threats, according to EU Ambassador Katarína Maternová. Maternová made this assertion in an interview with Suspilne and UATV English relays, stating that Russia's intimidation tactics are a reflection of their frustration over not achieving battlefield success. She emphasized that Russia's attempts to coerce European nations into reducing their support for Ukraine will only serve to strengthen their resolve to continue providing assistance.
Maternová highlighted the Vienna Conventions, which regulate diplomatic missions worldwide, and warned Russia against testing these international norms. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha echoed these sentiments, asserting that Russia's diplomatic intimidation campaign has been futile and will continue to be so. He expressed gratitude to foreign diplomats staying in Ukraine and condemned Russia's attempts to intimidate them.
Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Heorhii Tykhyi dismissed a report in The Guardian suggesting Western embassies were preparing to relocate, stating that no official plans or notifications of such moves had been conveyed to Ukraine.
