The diplomatic mission stressed that the "Russian males of conscription age are not let in by Ukraine border force, and Russian is the most spoken language in Kiev."

Recall that on May 24, about 20 people in masks attacked the fans of Liverpool, who arrived in Kiev for the Champions League final and spent leisure time in the Rooster restaurant. As one of the victims told journalists, the hooligans stormed the house, were throwing windows, tables and chairs at the British. As a result of the attack, several people got head and neck cuts.
