Ukraine, Russia protest over attacks on each other's diplomatic missions

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Ukraine protested to Russia on Saturday after mobs vandalised its embassy in Moscow and its consulate in Rostov-on-Don overnight, a day after Russia made a similar protest to Ukraine over damage to the Russian consulate in Kharkiv.

The attacks on the diplomatic missions highlight the continuing tensions between the two countries, as fighting rages between pro-Russian rebels and government forces in the Donbass region of eastern Ukraine, despite a four-month-old ceasefire.
