EU diplomat brutally attacked in Russia-FSB suspected!
Wladiwostok, Russland - On May 26th, Romanian EU diplomat in Vladiwostok, Russia, was the victim of brutal assault. The diplomat was during a business trip and used the morning for a walk when a car stopped next to her. Two men got out and attacked them without warning. The incident that questions the security of EU diplomats in an alarming way could have possible connections to the Russian secret services, since it is assumed that the attackers of the domestic secret service are FSB, such as [Tagesspiegel] (https://www.tagesspiegel.de/internationales/sie-war-auf-dienreise-eu-diplomatin-in-russbar-von-russian-secret service-related-13871608.html) reported.
The EU Commission sharply convicted the attack and immediately initiated an investigation. A spokeswoman for the Commission made it clear that the protection of the diplomatic staff is top priority and that the security precautions are checked. The Russian representative in Belgium was also ordered to clarify the incident in order to obtain detailed information on the backgrounds, as described https://www.tixio.de/875910-bericht-eu-diplomatin-in-russland-bengl).
The health state of the diplomat remains unclear, and the Romanian government missed several inquiries, including the “Spiegel”, a statement. This raises questions about the transparency and the situation of diplomat. The EU reacts with concern and emphasizes that such attacks on diplomatic representatives are unacceptable. In another context, the incident in Vladiwostok is not only an isolated event, but could also be related to the geopolitical tensions between Russia and the West. The Ukraine conflict, which has been raging since 2022, has significantly burdened diplomatic relationships and influenced Russia's behavior on the international stage. The current calls after peace negotiations are overshadowed by Russia's aggressive war diplomacy, which aims to weaken the support of the "collective West" for Ukraine, as was analyzed by [SWP Berlin state of health and reactions
geopolitical classification
The situation in Vladiwostok has the potential to further tighten the geopolitical tensions, especially with regard to the efforts to isolate Russia internationally. While Ukraine adapts its diplomatic strategies and seeks support in the global south, Russia remains adamant and continues its military goals. In this explosive environment, it is essential that the security of diplomats and international representatives continues to be a top priority to prevent further decline in diplomatic relationships.
