On 3 June 2026, the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office announced that the Russian Ambassador was summoned to the UK for a meeting. The summons followed Russia’s continued missile and drone attacks on Ukraine and a recent violation of NATO airspace when a Russian drone struck a residential building in Romania. An FCDO spokesperson said the attacks on civilians in Ukraine were unacceptable and highlighted the danger posed to Ukrainian civilians. The UK condemned Russia’s actions, described them as a grave escalation, and reaffirmed its support for Ukraine, Romania, and NATO allies. The spokesperson criticised recent warnings that diplomats should leave Kyiv as irresponsible. The UK pledged to defend all NATO territory.
