Just after 1:30 a.m. on Friday, police responded to a call about paint, that had been sprayed on the facade of the consulate, located on 91st Street, a spokesperson for the New York Police Department said.
The vandalization of the consulate comes, as Russian President Vladimir Putin declared the illegal annexation of four occupied territories in Ukraine—where there have been referendum votes to join Russia—in a speech on Friday.
