28 August 2025 16:35

The British Foreign Office will summon Russian Ambassador Andrey Kelin in connection with the Russian Armed Forces' nighttime strikes on Kyiv.

It comes after the British Council building in Kyiv suffered major damage as a result of the strikes, Caliber.Az reports via Western media.

The group's chief executive, Scott McDonald, said their guard for the building was injured but "stable".

"At the insistence of my amazing colleagues, we will continue operations in Ukraine today wherever possible," he added.

"Their resilience is awe-inspiring and I am deeply thankful they are all safe."
