On the morning of 12 December, a bloody package was sent to the Embassy of Ukraine in Greece. The sender's address is the same as on the other envelopes with threats that were sent to Ukrainian diplomats - a Tesla car dealership in the German town of Sindelfingen.
Greek police have already launched an investigation, the spokesman for the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, Oleh Nikolenko, said on Facebook.
He noted that Ukraine expects German law enforcement to speed up the investigation.
"In total, we already have 33 cases of threats in 17 countries: 1 attempted terrorist attack, 2 reports of mining, 1 case of vandalism, 1 case of written threat and 28 bloody packages," summed up Nikolenko.
This "postal terror" against Ukrainian embassies and consulates began last month. On 30 November, a letter with pyrotechnic material was sent to the embassy in Madrid. It was intended for the ambassador but exploded in the hands of an institution's employee checking the parcel.
In early December, other diplomatic institutions received threatening letters. The parcels were blood-stained. By 7 December, 31 cases were identified in 15 countries: Austria (1), Vatican City (1), Croatia (1), Czech Republic (2), Denmark (1), France (1), Hungary (2), Italy (4), Kazakhstan (1), Netherlands (1), Poland (6), Portugal (2), Romania (2), Spain (5), Spain (5), Vatican City (1), France (1), Hungary (2), and the United States (1).
The Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said that usually the mail was sent from post offices that were not equipped with video surveillance systems. The attackers also took measures to avoid leaving traces of their DNA on the packages.
