The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia has summoned Ambassador of the United Kingdom Nigel Casey and Ambassador of France Nicolas de Rivière following a strike by the Defense Forces of Ukraine on Bryansk.

According to Ukrinform, the BBC Russian Service reported this citing the Russian foreign ministry.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation said in a statement that the diplomats were presented with a “strong protest” over the March 10 strike on Bryansk carried out by Ukrainian forces using cruise missiles “produced by the Franco-British company MBDA”.
