It said the embassy is now located at 1 Donetsk People’s Republic Square, referring to a breakaway region in eastern Ukraine that Moscow recognised as independent shortly before sending troops there.

The embassy’s previous address was 8 Bolshoi Devyatinsky Lane.

The statement added that the change was made after Moscow councillors proposed honouring the “defenders of Donbas” — a majority Russian-speaking region in Ukraine that Russia says it is liberating as part of its military campaign — on the map of Moscow.

The new address was chosen in a public vote in which nearly 280,000 people participated, the city hall said.
