The summons occurred on Tuesday following Russia’s warning for foreign nationals and diplomats to evacuate Kyiv, which the EU deemed an unacceptable escalation. Germany’s Foreign Office emphasized that threats would not intimidate the nation. In response, Russian Ambassador Sergej Netschajew asserted that military operations target only military objectives, denying intentional attacks on civilian infrastructure. This diplomatic action follows Russia’s announcement of planned strikes on military targets in Kyiv, justified by a recent drone attack in Luhansk that resulted in civilian casualties.
