On June 30, UK Ambassador to Russia Deborah Bronnert was summoned to the Foreign Ministry. She received a strong protest in response to the overtly inappropriate statements by UK leaders as regards Russia, its leader, government officials and the Russian people.
The ambassador was given a memo on the unacceptability of insulting rhetoric by representatives of the UK's institutions of authority. In a civilised society, it is customary to apologise for such statements.
In addition, Ms Bronnert was told that the Foreign Ministry considers the practice of disseminating deliberately false information through statements by UK officials, in particular about alleged Russian "threats to use nuclear weapons," unacceptable.
