Minister summons Russian ambassador over bombing of Ukrainian village

The Czech minister of foreign affairs, Jan Lipavský, has summoned the Russian ambassador to Prague, Aleksandr Zmeyevsky, over the recent bombing of civilians in the Ukrainian village of Hroza, the Czech News Agency reported on Thursday, citing the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Fifty-five people were killed while three people are still missing after the missile attack on the village in the east of Ukraine last Thursday.

The last time Mr. Lipavský summoned the Russian ambassador to his office was last October, over flagrant violations of international law and the illegal annexation of Ukrainian regions.
