Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman has called the overnight incident near the Russian Embassy in Kyiv an inadmissible act of hooliganism.

"Regarding the Russian Embassy, you know that this is hooliganism. It's inadmissible because the Ukrainian capital city, Kyiv, should set an absolutely different example of culture. I believe this is a minor incident which does not require any comment," he told the press in Kyiv on Saturday.
