Anti-war protest in Warsaw was legal says interior minister

The Polish interior minister has said that the emotions of Ukrainian women taking part in an anti-war protest, during which Russia's ambassador to Poland was splashed with a red substance, are understandable. "The rally of protesters against Russia's invasion of Ukraine was legal," Minister Mariusz Kaminski wrote on Twitter, adding that "emotions of Ukrainian women, whose husbands have been bravely fighting in the defence of their homeland, are understandable." "Splashing the Russian ambassador with a red substance is an incident which should never have happened," Polish Foreign Minister Zbigniew Rau said during his visit to Iran. "It is deplorable," Rau stated, adding that "diplomats enjoy special protection, irrespective of the politics being conducted by the governments which they represent."
