The Embassy of Ukraine in Moscow is the chief diplomatic mission of Ukraine in the Russian Federation. It is located at 18 Leontyevsky Lane (Russian: Леонтьевский переулок, 18) in Moscow.[2]

In March 2014, as a result of the Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation, Ukraine recalled its ambassador and Ukraine was represented by its temporary chargé d'affaires until the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022.[1] Ukraine severed diplomatic relations with Russia and evacuated its entire embassy personnel from Moscow that day.[3]

On March 4, 2022 members of the Ukrainian embassy in Moscow, having ceased all diplomatic ties with Russia, were officially welcomed to Riga, Latvia due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the embassy's evacuation from Russian Federation.[4][5]
