The Foreign Ministry has sent for the diplomats to submit a \u201cstrong protest\u201d following an attack on Bryansk<\/p>\n
The Foreign Ministry in Moscow has summoned the envoys of France and Britain to submit a \u201cstrong protest\u201d over the deadly strike on the Russian city of Bryansk.
\nThe Ukrainian military launched the attack on Tuesday, striking the city with long-range Storm Shadow cruise missiles manufactured by the Franco-British corporation MBDA. The assault left at least eight people dead and dozens more wounded.
\nThe ministry said it told the envoys that London and Paris \u201cbear direct responsibility for this terrorist attack\u201d and\u00a0 emphasized that the strike on Bryansk \u201cwould have been impossible without the participation of British and French specialists\u201d in its staging.
\n\u201cIt was underscored that if London and Paris continue to be complicit in the war crimes of the Kiev regime, responsibility for the destructive consequences of the armed conflict and the escalation of tensions will fall on Britain and France,\u201d the ministry stressed.<\/p>\n
