Russia's Ambassador to Poland Doused with Red Paint at Victory Day Memorial in Warsaw
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Warsaw, protesters surrounded Russia's ambassador to Poland Monday
and doused him in red paint as he prepared to lay flowers at a monument
to Soviet soldiers who died defeating Nazi Germany in World War II.

Olga: "I think that they did not have to come today and put flowers at
the monument, because they are aggressors in Ukraine. They can't do
this. Ukrainians are with me today. A man from Belarus is with us. We
all want there to be no more war."

The Russian Embassy filed a formal protest and blasted the Polish
demonstrators as "admirers of neo-Nazism."
