“Australian police on Monday arrested a man accused of driving an SUV into the gates of Sydney’s Russian consulate, according to authorities and Russian officials. Russia’s Consulate General, located on Fullerton Street in Sydney, confirmed the crash in a statement on Telegram, stating the incident occurred at about 8:05 a.m. AEST. It said the driver had parked the SUV so as to block access to the premises and refused police orders to exit the vehicle. He then ‘deliberately rammed the gates’ of the mission, it said. No consulate general employees reported injuries and operations continued as normal, the consulate added.” (09/01/25)
