UK Summons Russian Ambassador After Kyiv Attack: Symbolic Gesture or Ineffective Response?
Following overnight attacks on Kyiv, which resulted in damage to the British Council building and EU delegation, the Russian ambassador to the UK was summoned by the Foreign Office. Foreign Secretary David Lammy condemned the strikes, which killed civilians and destroyed homes, emphasizing the need for the violence to cease. The British Council confirmed their guard was injured but stable, and the organization vowed to continue operations in Ukraine. International condemnation was swift, with Germany and the EU expressing strong disapproval and calling for consequences, as Russia claimed to be targeting military sites while also expressing interest in continued negotiations.
