VIENNA (Sputnik) - The Russian embassy in Vienna said on Tuesday that it will send a protest note to the Austrian Foreign Ministry after a Soviet military burial was vandalized in the town of Ebenfurth.
“The embassy became aware of the desecration of a Soviet military burial in Ebenfurth. Unknown vandals damaged the bas-relief on the monument to the soldiers who gave their lives for the liberation of Austria from Nazism,” the embassy wrote on its Telegram channel, adding that the fact that the incident occurred during the time of the World War Two Victory Day is “especially cynical.”
