UK, French, German leaders call Russia’s use of Oreshnik missile ‘unacceptable’

LONDON: Russia’s use of an Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missile in western Ukraine was “escalatory and unacceptable,” the leaders of Britain, France and Germany agreed in a call on Friday, a UK government spokeswoman said.
“It was clear Russia was using fabricated allegations to justify the attack,” UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer told the French and German leaders in the call, according to the spokeswoman.
