Russia says Molotov cocktail thrown at consulate in Ukraine, protests to Ukraine authorities

The Russian foreign ministry said on Friday that someone had thrown a Molotov cocktail at the Russian consulate in Ukraine's Lviv and that it had formally protested over the attack, which it called "an act of terrorism".

Russia's foreign ministry summoned a Ukrainian official and demanded apologies from Ukrainian authorities.

Ukrainian police in Lviv said they had launched an investigation over the incident, which they referred to as "hooliganism".
