WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Protesters have thrown red paint on the Russian ambassador to Poland as he arrived at a cemetery in Warsaw to pay respects to Red Army soldiers who died during World War II. Ambassador Sergey Andreev arrived at the Soviet soldiers cemetery on Monday to lay flowers. A group of activists opposed to Russia’s war in Ukraine were waiting for him. Video footage shows red paint being thrown from behind Andreev before a protester standing beside him throws a big blob of it in his face. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova denounced the attack, while Poland’s foreign minister described the incident as “highly deplorable.”
