James Cleverly announced the expulsion of a senior Russian diplomat from the UK over spying allegations linked to an attack on a property owned by a Ukrainian in London.
Cleverly highlighted a pattern of suspected Russian activity across Europe, stating that actions and threats from Russia have increased since the invasions and are meant to bring the war in Ukraine across Europe.
The UK has taken measures against Russia's diplomatic presence, including removing diplomatic status from Russian buildings in the UK and imposing restrictions on diplomatic visas for Russia.
Mr. Cleverly asserted that despite ongoing investigations, he had sufficient evidence to take action against Russia, such as shortening the maximum length of time diplomats can be based individually in the UK.
