Britain summons Russian charge d’affaires over Leipzig airport attack

-

LONDON, Sept ‌3 (Reuters) - Britain has summoned ​the Russian charge d'affaires to condemn ⁠an attempted drone attack at Leipzig/Halle airport last month after ​the German government said that ‌Russia was responsible for the incident.

"The UK stands in full solidarity ⁠with Germany following Russia's ⁠egregious and reckless attack on Leipzig Airport," the spokesperson said, adding that Russian attempts to ‌undermine the resolve of Ukraine's ⁠allies were "futile."

"This is ‌the latest in ​a clear pattern of attempts by the Russian state to ‌undermine our collective security, ​and that ⁠is why today we have ‌summoned the ⁠Russian charge d'affaires to condemn the attack in the strongest terms."

Russia ​has rejected ‌the allegations, saying that they ⁠are entirely fabricated.
