The embassy in the USA received a letter with a photocopy of a critical article about Ukraine, it arrived simultaneously with others from the territory of one European country.

"We have reason to believe that a well-planned campaign of terror and intimidation of Ukrainian embassies and consulates is taking place. Not being able to stop Ukraine on the diplomatic front, they are trying to intimidate us. However, I can immediately say that these attempts are useless. We will continue to work effectively for the victory of Ukraine," said the Minister of Foreign Affairs Dmytro Kuleba.

The Ukrainian side cooperates with law enforcement officers of foreign countries to investigate all cases of threats. All Ukrainian embassies and consulates have now been placed under heightened security measures.
