German Foreign Ministry summoned Russian Ambassador after drone incident in Poland

Russian Ambassador Sergei Nechaev was summoned to the German Foreign Ministry amid an incident with drones in the skies over Poland. This was announced on September 12 at the Russian Embassy in Germany.

"The ambassador rejected the unfounded accusations, pointing out the absence of any evidence of Russian involvement in the incident," the ministry said on its website.

The Russian Embassy in Germany added that this is a planned provocation in which Ukraine is interested, suffering defeat on the battlefield, as well as European countries wishing to interfere with the dialogue between Moscow and Washington on the peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian conflict.

Russia has repeatedly and at all levels publicly denied speculation in the West about plans to attack one of the NATO countries, the embassy concluded.
