An incident occurred in the Romanian capital, the driver of the car is dead. Initially it was unclear whether it was an accident or an intentional act.
A car crashed into the gate of the Russian embassy in the Romanian capital Bucharest. The driver died in the process, police said on Wednesday. Video taken before firefighters arrived shows the front of the car on fire as it was stuck in the gate. It was unclear if it was an accident or if the man entered the gate on purpose. Police did not identify the driver.
In recent weeks, anti-war protests in Ukraine have taken place in front of Russian embassies in several European countries. Since the Russian invasion began on February 24, around 625,000 Ukrainians have fled to Romania, and around 80,000 of them are still in the country. Like other European countries, Romania has recently expelled several Russian diplomats.
