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 ‌U.K. ⁠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.
