Andreyev

Tetyana's husband, Volodymyr Andreyev, 73, tells me he is “in a hole” - the household is falling apart without his wife, and he and his son only manage with the help of neighbours.

“The recent juvenile outbursts are a sign that more needs to be done to allow police to protect our communities,” Andreyev said.

Peter Andreyev, president of the New Jersey State Policemens’ Benevolent Association, issued a statement calling for changes in laws and procedures governing how police interact with disorderly teens and young adults.

Sergei Andreyev, the ambassador, said the move was a violation of the Vienna Convention on diplomatic relations, but Poland said it was within its rights to take back the building.

Andreyev said earlier this week that Polish prosecutors had seized significant amounts of money from the frozen bank accounts of the Russian embassy and trade mission.
