Because of spying, Russia announces the expulsion of British diplomats

The Russian Federal Security Agency announced on Monday the withdrawal of the accreditation of two British diplomats, the second secretary at the embassy and the first secretary’s husband.
The agency explained that the anti -espionage activity, which was carried out, “revealed the presence of an unannounced British intelligence under the guise of the embassy.”
He emphasized that he reached “indications that these two diplomats perform a vandalism and inquiry threatening the security of the Russian Federation,” noting that they “have deliberately provided false information when obtaining permission to enter our country, and thus violated Russian laws.”
The United Kingdom has not yet commented on these accusations, and the Russian Foreign Ministry withdrew the accreditation of the aforementioned diplomats, and ordered them to leave Russian lands within a maximum of two weeks, according to the security apparatus.

Relations between Moscow and London

Relations between Moscow and London have witnessed tensions due to security and spirals since President Vladimir Putin took over in Russia a quarter of a century ago.
The United Kingdom accused Moscow of killing the former anti -Kremlin -Alexander Littenno -Litennko’s former agent in London in 2016.
In 2018, London and its allies expelled dozens of Russian diplomats against the background of accusing them of spying, after trying to kill the dual Russian agent Sergey Skripal by poisoning him in Britain.
