Statement: Foreign Office summons Russian Ambassador - 3 June 2026
Russia's latest brutal bombardment of civilians in Ukraine comes after its violation of NATO airspace last week, hitting a residential building in Romania. Injuring innocent civilians on NATO territory is unacceptable and a stark reminder of the threat that Ukrainian civilians are having to endure on a daily basis.
Summoning the Russian Ambassador, a senior FCDO official strongly condemned this grave escalation. Russia continues to show blatant disregard for civilian life, firing hundreds of drones and missiles into Ukraine and threatening its near neighbours. Recent warnings for diplomats to leave Kyiv were irresponsible and unjustified.
The UK stands firmly with Ukraine, Romania and all of our NATO Allies and we will defend every inch of NATO territory.
