[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] A man in his 50s attempted to break into the Russian Consulate General in Busan to express his opposition to the war.

According to Busan police, at around 10:40 a.m. on the 28th, a Korean man in his 50s, Mr. A, tried to enter the Russian Federation Consulate General in Jung-gu, Busan.

Mr. A was stopped by the police and was unable to enter. No significant physical confrontation occurred during the intervention.

Mr. A said, "I came to the Russian Consulate General to express my opposition to the war initiated by Russia," and added, "I will visit again."

A police official stated, "We responded quickly upon receiving the report and prevented any unfortunate incidents," and added, "Since Russia's invasion, the Busan police have been in a state of emergency every day."

The Busan police decided to strengthen security by reallocating consulate security from conscripted police officers to regular police officers and conducting patrols every hour.

A police official said, "We are maintaining a hotline with the Russian Consulate General and preparing for any possible situations."

At 7 p.m. on the 28th, a rally titled "Condemnation of the Russia-Ukraine War and Call for its Cessation" will be held near Haeundae subway station. About 20 Ukrainians residing in Busan and other parts of Korea are expected to attend.

The police plan to deploy personnel at the rally to prepare for any emergencies.
