Moscow - A young woman attempted to hang herself on the fence of the Ukrainian embassy in central Moscow on Nov. 13, a law enforcement source told.

A car pulled up near the Ukrainian Embassy at 18 Leontyevsky Pereulok Street on Nov. 13, from which a young woman exited and unfolded a banner demanding that Ukrainian authorities stop the military operation in the eastern part of the country.

After that, she produced a rope with two nooses, attached one of them to the embassy fence, put the other around her neck and tried to hang herself. However, a security guard prevented her from doing so, pulled her out of the noose and chased her away, the source said.

In about an hour, the same young woman returned to the embassy building, again attached a rope to the fence and tried to hang herself. Several seconds later, security guards pulled her out of the noose again.

After that, they called an ambulance, and doctors helped the woman come to her senses and then took her to a hospital, the source said.

The woman’s life is not in danger, and she has to undergo a psychiatric examination.
