The summoning of the ambassadors of the United Kingdom and France to the Russian Foreign Ministry

Press release on the summoning of the ambassadors of the United Kingdom and France to the Foreign Ministry:

On March 13, Ambassador of the United Kingdom to the Russian Federation Nigel Casey and Ambassador of France to the Russian Federation Nicolas de Rivière were summoned to the Foreign Ministry to be issued a strong protest in connection with the strike carried out by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on March 10 targeting Bryansk which used cruise missiles produced by the Franco-British MBDA Concern.

It was clearly stated during the démarche that the United Kingdom and France bear direct responsibility for this terrorist attack which killed seven people and injured more than 40. Clearly, the missile strike on Bryansk would have been impossible without the involvement of the British and French specialists, as well as without providing intelligence data to the neo-Nazi Kiev regime.

It was emphasised that, should London and Paris continue to act as co-perpetrators in the war crimes committed by the Kiev regime, responsibility for the destructive consequences of the armed conflict and escalation of tensions will fall directly on those European capitals.

It was also stated that Moscow regards the shelling of Bryansk as a deliberate provocation aimed at undermining the stepped-up efforts towards peaceful settlement of the Ukraine crisis. The British and French sides were urged to abandon these inhumane actions undertaken in pursuit of raising their political profile and to bring the “Ukrainian project” they sponsor back into the focus of the international agenda against the backdrop of the ongoing escalation in the Middle and Near East.

The Russian side also demanded that the United Kingdom and France issue a public response with a firm and unequivocal condemnation of the terrorist attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Bryansk. The absence of such a response will be regarded as showing solidarity with the terrorist methods, which is a disgrace for permanent members of the UN Security Council.
