Ukraine's foreign minister: embassies receive more 'bloody packages'

Ukrainian embassies have received more "bloody packages", Ukraine's foreign minister said on Tuesday, adding that the country's embassies in Romania and Denmark received such parcels on Tuesday.

Over the past week, Ukrainian missions in several European countries have been sent packages containing animal eyes and coated in a pungent liquid.

No one has claimed responsibility for sending the packages, more than nine months into Russia's war in Ukraine.

Spanish police said on Monday that three parcels containing animal eyes and addressed to Ukraine's embassy in Madrid and consulates in Barcelona and Malaga were intercepted at offices of the national postal company.

Seven European countries, including Spain, reported Friday that similar packages had arrived at their Ukrainian embassies or consulates last week.

Ukraine’s ambassador to the Vatican also reported that the entrance to his Rome residence was vandalized Thursday afternoon with what he believed to be animal feces.

A security guard at the Ukrainian Embassy in Spain's capital was injured Nov. 30 while opening a parcel addressed to the ambassador.
