The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has opened disciplinary proceedings against consul of Ukraine in Hamburg (Germany) Vasyl Marushynets because of alleged anti-Semitic statements in social networks.

"The anti-Semites and those who stir up ethnic discord cannot have a place either in a civilized society or in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The State Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine begins disciplinary proceedings. We will thoroughly see into the case," Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin wrote on his Twitter account on Sunday evening.
