Kuleba figures in 17 cases in embassies of explosive letters and packages with animal parts

The Ukrainian Foreign Minister, Dimitro Kuleba, has estimated a total of 17 cases in embassies in Europe of letters with explosives or packages with body parts of some animals, mainly cow and pig eyes.

"I am tempted to say (or) name Russia right away, because first of all you have to answer the question, who benefits?" Kuleba said during an interview with CNN, adding that either Russia is " directly responsible" for these attacks or the person responsible "sympathizes with the Russian cause and tries to spread fear".

"It all started with an explosion at the Ukrainian embassy in Spain (in Madrid)," said the Ukrainian Foreign Minister, after which he said that "what followed this explosion was weirder and I would even say sick."

In this sense, he explained that, although the final conclusions will be made by the researchers, "these two options make sense." "This is how (the Russians) try to fight while they are losing the real diplomatic battles one after another," she said.

Kuleba has previously said there are reasons to believe there is "a well-planned campaign of terror and intimidation against Ukrainian embassies and consulates." "Unable to stop Ukraine on the diplomatic front, they are trying to intimidate us," she said.

The Ukrainian government has indicated that these types of packages have arrived at the country's embassies in Hungary, the Netherlands, Poland, Croatia and Italy, although suspicious shipments have also been registered at the country's consulates in Poland, the Czech Republic and Italy.
