The European Union has summoned Russia’s envoy to Brussels for an explanation after one of the bloc’s officials was attacked in the Russian city of Vladivostok last month

    That story is still breaking I guess, the article is very short and low on detail.

    I wonder how Russia will react? Mask off a lá “Diplomacy’d dead” or at least trying to keep up a semblance of it?

      Not sure I get your point. This story got way more international outrage than the incident in Russia so far.

      Hmmm strange that nothing like that happened when Israel shot warning shots at diplomats

      Your statement is simply false. You can read this in the article you linked yourself and in many across on the web as others have already said.

      Just read you own link.

      Several countries involved have said they will summon Israeli ambassadors to account for the incident on Wednesday, calling for investigations and explanations.

        Yes, countries nothing done on the EU level, even tho most diplomats were from EU countries.

          I don’t know what the diplomatic rules are in such cases, but it may relate that in Russia, an EU representative - “one of the bloc’s officials,” as the linked article says - was attacked, while in Israel national diplomats were attacked.

          The outrage was, as already mentioned, even much greater after the incident in Israel. Both incidents are obviously unacceptable and have been treated by the European community as such.

          Your attempt of nitpicking discredits you.
