KIEV (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 28th January, 2022) A window of the Ukrainian сonsulate general in Hamburg was smashed last night by unknown perpetrators, the Ukrainian foreign ministry said on Friday.

"Overnight January 28, the unknown damaged the Ukrainian consulate general's building in Hamburg. The consulate's personnel found one of the windows broken and also found the stone which presumably was used to break it. No casualties and trespassing occurred as a result of the incident," the statement read.
