LONDON, June 3 – The United Kingdom’s foreign ministry announced Wednesday that it has called in Russia’s ambassador following a Russian drone attack that struck a residential building in Romania, a NATO member nation, last week.
Foreign minister Yvette Cooper has denounced the incident, which took place during Russia’s assault on Ukraine and left two people wounded in the Romanian city of Galati. Cooper stated that Britain remains united with its allies in protecting NATO territory.
“Russia’s later brutal bombardment of civilians in Ukraine comes afters its violation of NATO airspace last week, hitting a residential building in Romania,” Britain’s foreign ministry said in a statement.
“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.”
