Berlin: Germany officially summoned the Russian ambassador to Berlin on Monday to lodge a formal protest regarding hostile cyberattacks targeting the European Union.

A ministry spokeswoman confirmed to reporters that the meeting took place Monday morning, directly addressing the malicious digital activities.

This diplomatic action follows the European Union’s recent decision to impose new sanctions against Moscow. Germany coordinated these punitive measures alongside Britain as a direct response to the reported cyber threats.

The summons underscores Germany’s firm stance in addressing persistent threats to European digital and security infrastructure.
