Some 20 Ukrainian activists launched an attack on the Russian embassy in Kiev, striking the building with smoke bombs and fireworks in the early hours of Saturday morning.
The attack was conducted in anticipation of the parliamentary elections scheduled to take place in Russia on Sunday. As a result the embassy tightened its security measures.
The incident didn't cause any visible damage to the building, though Russia's Foreign Ministry stated it would be investigating the attack.
The Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has previously banned voting for Russian nationals living in Ukraine, on the premises of the Russian embassy in Kiev as well as the consulates in Odessa, Kharkov and Lvov.
