Official Russian verbal note for attack on ambassador's residential complex

During the meeting, it was stressed that the attacks had seriously violated the security and life of the ambassador of the Republic of Albania. This incident is unacceptable and entirely contrary to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and other international obligations guaranteeing invulnerability, under any circumstances, the security and dignity of the accredited diplomatic staff.

The Russian ambassador was handed over a verbal note and was asked to convey the Albanian side's call to respect international norms to his country's authorities.

We remember the attacks occurred on Saturday evening, May 23rd, hitting the residential complex where Albanian Ambassador to Kiev Ernal Philo lives.

In an interview with the Klan News, Philo suggested that the situation has been difficult, since the attack has lasted for several hours and has been associated with the use of various drones and missiles.

“Sulmi started at 10:00 last night and lasted until 6:30 in the morning. It was one of the most intense attacks that has occurred since we opened the embassy last year with fear and rockets, Iscarnder, Zirkon... to Oresnic. There was a massive attack that went on for hours. The ambassador said.

Philo said that only fasada has suffered injuries, but the building is still habitable. He also added there have been contacts and has received support from Ukrainian institutions, while stressing that the diplomatic body will continue to stay in Kiev.

I've been called, interested, and given support. They have expressed solidarity and gratitude that we are here. And we give them that message that the entire diplomatic body will stay here to give the message to Ukraine as well that we are with them and we will stay with them as long as necessary. ”, He said. / Tv Klan
