On Monday, October 14, more than six dozen foreign diplomatic missions of Ukraine received anonymous bomb threats; this number continues to grow. Similar letters were also received by structural departments of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.

Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha has ordered to strengthen security measures at Ukrainian diplomatic missions.

Diplomats are in close contact with law enforcement and authorities of the host countries to conduct security inspections where necessary. In isolated cases, foreign diplomatic missions had to suspend consular services for a short time, which were resumed immediately after the inspections were completed. We apologize to the citizens of Ukraine for any inconvenience. Your safety is our priority.

It is important to note that the massive wave of anonymous bomb threats has not affected the activities of the diplomatic system of Ukraine and foreign diplomatic missions. The work continues as usual, and all assigned tasks continue to be carried out in full.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine is in contact with the law enforcement and intelligence agencies of Ukraine, as well as foreign partners, and is working to clarify the circumstances and purpose of the coordinated wave of anonymous threats and its organizers.
