Britain expels Russian diplomat amid spying accusations
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Britain has revoked the accreditation of a Russian diplomat, the Foreign Office announced, in a retaliatory move after Moscow accused a British envoy of being a spy before his expulsion. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) confirmed that Russian ambassador Andrey Kelin had been summoned to explain what it described as an "unprovoked and unjustified" decision by Russia. The FCDO further stated it would not "stand for intimidation of British embassy staff","
